This may be the one I go for (finally). 34 years going. Decent judges. Reasonable entry fee. Not too far away so the shipping won't be outrageous.

Let me know what category you enter so I can avoid it. I've got to stack the deck in my own favor ya know.

 

[ibglowin]

I don't know, I may want to avoid you as well! LOL

This is a good competition. Not too big. I think they average about 120 to 150 entries a year.

just shipped mine out today from Jersey, fingers crossed

Do they allow commercial winery entrants?

 

[ibglowin]

Nope,

It says on the entry form open to any winemaker not engaged in winemaking for a profit is eligible.

 

[bobtruetken]

Do they allow commercial winery entrants?

It is only for amateurs.

Stay tuned for next year's Missouri Valley Wine Competition? You may be able to enter that one.

Judging starts tomorrow for this contest, wondering how many entries this year

 

[franki1926]

Does anyone know when they expect to post the results ?

 

[ibglowin]

I sent an email on Tuesday after the Judging on Sunday 4/6. I got a very tersely written response stating that all the judges had full time jobs and it would take a week or two for the results to be tabulated. Then I got another email from someone else saying it would take 2-3 weeks...... then I got yet another email from somebody else saying it would take 3-4 weeks.....

I thought they only got around 100 wines all together and it takes them 3-4 weeks to add up a few numbers........

Got's myself some hardware!

Entered two wines, won two medals!

The results were emailed out late last night. They had almost 200 entries this year. Only about 50% of the entries won medals so that feels pretty good. I won a Gold for my 2011 CC Showcase Yakima Valley Cabernet-Merlot and a Silver for my 2011 CC Showcase LR Old Vines Mencia. Surprised it did not score higher as it was my favorite of the two. Very interesting and unique wine. Very similar to a Pinot Noir but with a bit more tannin and longer finish.

Full results attached!

Yep, thanks Mike. I knew I should have avoided your categories. Congrats to you and all the rest. .

 

[ibglowin]

LOL, who is this Terry Baldwin/Ron Miller combo (didn't know you could have 2 winemakers) and how the heck do you get the highest score in the entire competition with a 2013 vintage wine…………..
