Its actually not very sweet at all and thats what is astonishing. Its not what I expected at all, its much more!!! If you dont take a gold with that then Im absolutely sure these comps are a bunch of bull!!!!!!!!!!!!








Well guys.... They didnt like my Peach Port very much at the competition. No medals. and not even very good reviews.


I am a little suprised. Everyone seems to like it, or at least they tell me they do. haha


Oh well..... life goes on








Do you like it??? That is the reason for making it.


Some don't like my dandelion but I do.


As you say, life goes on!

Hey Goodfella I'm with you. I sent a couple ice wines to a competion out in California last Fall I got a gold Medal for. I sent the same ones to Winemakers Competion and the only thingI got was bad reivews. I also got several golds in local competions and and first runner up for best of show.
I also talked to another person who entered 6 wines and his best didn't place but the others he didn't expect much did.
 
Its why Ill never enter into that competition. I only enter locally and even that is only because the entrance fee covers a real good dinner at a nice place and lots of good friends to drink with. And even with all that its much cheaper!!!!
 
Last year was the last year I could enter Winemaker's competition. I sent in $300 worth of entry fees and got two medals out of 12. The year before I got 6 out of 8 entries. I'm not sure what is up, but I have spoken with one of the judges that is a good friend of mine. Even he was dumbfounded by the other judges evaluations of wines. I haven't entered any of my wines since going pro in anything. Eventually I will. You put a few medals in the tasting room, even if from a prior year, and many people buy those wines- just because it got a medal of some sort.
