I see that Bob won winemaker of the year, and is too modest to toot his own horn. Allow me to congratulate you!!

Bob is a great winemaker!!!

He really knows his stuff..

Congrats again Bob!!!

 

[ckassotis]

Haha, Bob won both winemaker and best of show? I could have sworn he announced at the meeting last year that it was his last competition because he was going commercial.

I did modest from what I saw. Entered more wines this year and did a bit worse than last year. 1 silver medal, but that was it. Interested to see the notes. Also interested to see what I hear from WineMaker Mag, as last year I had a medal from that for a wine that got atrocious ratings at MVWS.

Got Lucky I Guess

There were some awesome wines entered this year. Yes, this is my last year entering the competition. Hopefully, I will get my state license in a couple months and will officially be commercial. It has taken a while to get everything in order to be commercial. I was hoping I was already there by this competition but that did not happen.

I have to toot my horn a little bit. My wife and I entered 11 wines in this competition and received medals on 10 of them. 1 gold, 4 silver, 5 bronze. I couldn't do it without my faithful assistant /wife helping and tasting.

The one that surprised me the most was getting a silver and just missing a gold on a grapefruit wine I made on a dare from my wife. It turned out really well, I thought.

Congrats, ckassotis, Joe, and cmason!
