My wines scored fairly well. I find out how I stacked up to the other contestants in a few days.
The Malbec scored the highest out of all of my wines. It was also the most full bodied and higher end of the kits I entered.
Discovered the judges are fans of big reds. I'll be entering my Cabernet Sauvignon from frozen 2007 vintage grapes. Also my Winery Series Meritage and Red Zinfandel. I'm working on a Concord from FRESH grapes that will hopefully be ready by next year's festival.
Too True!! I find that in any one given competition, the judges prefer the big reds, while in other years (of the same competition), they are more into fruit wines or the more unique. I was in a competition where skeeter pee won best of show.
