Good Job !

Winemaker Competition

I received scoresheets from Winemaker today. Won silver in 2009, however; no medals this year. Received 2 1/2 on aroma and bouquet on blackberry. Fermentation began August 2009, bottled February 2010. Any comments on how to improve aroma and bouquet?

 

[Tom]

Did you add a F-Pac? that will add flavor and aroma as well as some body.

Tom

Thanks for reply. I am unfamilar with F-Pac. Is it possible to add at this time?

Be very hard if you bottled already. You would do this after the fruit wine went dry and stabilized w/ meta and sorbate. Here is the link on how to.

No medals for me this year. I won a bronze last year with my pinot noir from juice pail. Guess I will have to work a little harder.

 

[JohnT]

Joe---- or you could simply hope for a different set of judges.

Did anyone get the certificates for your free wine kits from winning medals at Winemaker's Competition? I got one from Winexpert for one of my medals but nothing yet from Spagnols or Vineco. I just wanna make sure I don't miss out!!

As far as I know Winexpert is the only kit company to give you a free kit if you medal, and I'm not even sure if that includes every competition, or just certain ones. I know the owner of The Red Barn contacted Spagnols because their Premier Pinot Noir was winning medals left and right at the Indy competition, but they said no way on the free kit.

Peace,
Bob

He told me the story last summer, so It was either last year's or the year before last that he called Spagnols.
