Congrats Doug. Never know what will do well. I'm sure your pinot noir is a double gold in your head and thats whats important.

Thanks Julie,

After a long day of very worth while seminars, and after sampling alot of wines from various wineries, the performed the announcement of the winners.

My pinot noir, which I thought was very good did not place. Boo Hoo for me. My 2011 Noble Muscadine took a Silver and the wine I was worried about, the 2012 full bodied Elderberry, took a gold.

Whoo Hoo i'm on top of the world for my first contest.

Congrats!!!! Way to go!!!

Tony,

Did you send in wines? There was a tony from Texas that took medals. I have the written down at home because I thought it may be yours.

Congrats to all who entered I am sure you worked hard to craft your wines and deserve a big round of applause , and to all who picked up medals. Thanks to all the Judges for putting in a long hard day of judging must be hard to taste and spit it out, you too get a round of applause from me, I got a phone call last evening telling me that I picked up a Gold for my Black Raspberry and a Silver for my Lemon/Blueberry. Still waiting to hear on my Banana and my Concord/Niagara.

Yes I did Doug. Sent in two. An rjs brunello and rjs toro spanish blend. Hope it was me. Next year I should attend it seems to be a good event.

I need to make labels for the Elderberry. I only bottled what I needed so that it wouldn't be brand new in the bottle when I entered it. We drank some, gave some away to family but I didn't bother to make labels. I'll have to do that before we take any Pics. Definately like the idea though.

If I wrote everything down correctly, I believe you received 2 silvers.

 

[tonyt]

Thanks Doug, I hope you're right.

 

[wineon4]

Anyone know when we will get the final results posted. I received a call from a judge about my 2 medals but he said he did not know about my other 2 wines.

 

[ffemt128]

Thanks Doug, I hope you're right.

I missed the name on the first one, it got a silver and the 2nd announced was a Brunello. Were they both 2012? I know they said Tony and all the way from Texas.

 

[ffemt128]

And the list is out.
