 Welcome
to our column. We hope that you will return to
learn interesting notes on wine, and related
subjects. Wine is a great gift from God to be used
for the enjoyment of man. It is a food, and should
be treated as such. It is meant to lift up the body
and lighten the soul. 04/1/04 The assistants are lined up to help with the judging, so that everything runs smooth. The judging is a big event, but it is not open to the public. There are four teams of judges who will judge the 22 classes of wines. Each class of wine will have winners in First, Second, and Third place, and one "Best of Class" who will receive real silver coins. Then the overall best wine will be judged as "Best of Show" and receive an ounce of gold. Last year there were 140 winners out of 193 wines. So you need to enter…. The fun day for the public begins on Friday evening at 6:00PM with a potluck dinner and get together at the winery for the general public. This is to allow people to visit and get to know each other. At present there are several people planning to attend from out of state. On Saturday at high noon, the program begins with a talk on wine making by one of the wine makers. This is about a 20 minute presentation. Follow this is the awarding of the prizes to the winners. This in turn is followed by the tasting of the wines. There will be lots of wine, cheese, and smacks, and you may keep your glass. So, you are
going to start making wine???? You say !!!! Well what
better time to get the ball rolling than by attending the
wine competition awards and tasting. You can meet wonderful
wine makers, and have a great afternoon learning how to make
wine. So plan on attending! ! ! ! We shall be waiting for
you with a glass and a sample of fine
wine.
