Big and Bold Competition (unofficial)

[JohnT]

I was looking that the scoring form and I'm wondering. Several of the criteria includes " appropriate for varietal/type and age". Does this mean the wine doesn't have to be old enough to drive yet? I have one that is about 10 months old in Oct and I'd like to send it in just to get feedback to be sure I'm on the right track.

Yes, The plan is that age will be factored in. A 10 month old wine will be judged as a 10 month old wine. It would not be fair otherwise.

 

[LoneStarLori]

yay! I'll send in two then.

 

[heatherd]

I am in, just deciding what to send.

WAY TO GO FOLKS!!! 17 members have signed up so far!!!

I have finalized the panel of 6 judges. Final scores will be the average of all 6.

Entries (of a 750ml bottle or two 375ml bottles) need to be received by 10/10/2014.

Judging will be held on 10/11/2014.

John,

Just to clarify - you only need 1 750ml, not two? I thought one would be needed for each you and Joe.

Glad you asked!

The original plan was to have Joe and I judge separately. Since then, Joe was kind enough to offer to drive up to my place.

So the plan is now that Joe will come up to my place and the judging will be done together. This works out better as now folks only need to enter a single 750ml bottle and scores can be tabulated all at once.

I ended up forgetting to bring my wine to NJ yesterday, sigh....
With all the rush and kids getting ready, you know how that goes.

I will try to be shipping Joe a bottle of wine so I will ship 2 to him.

 

[JohnT]

Sounds good geek!

Yes. I will be insisting on the "Swirl and spit" method. We will also be taking our time in tasting these. No point rushing!
