Thanks Andy ( @acorad ). I think this might be the year I finally have something to enter. What are the entry fees and where can we find the form? All I saw on the website was the flyer with the dates.

I moved this thread to the competitions folder.

I have entered that one the last two years. Its a good one for me as it's close (shipping wise) and they do a good job with notes.

Hi Jim, fees are $10/bottle.

Sorry, I didn't realize I was getting word out before the website was updated with the competition information!

Our webmaster will get the info and forms up asap!

Best,

Andy

Dang! This deadline snuck up on me. Wonder what it'll cost for me to ship tomorrow and get to LA by Friday.

The nice thing about this competition is that the entries get shipped to a business and not a residence so shipping is like 50% less for some reason. It's still pretty warm this week in LA.

I just paid $11.45 to ship 2 bottles to @JohnT . That's gonna be tough to beat.

Couldn't you have just driven them to his house for even cheaper? What is it 200 miles?
