What are you entering Dan? You can drop it off on the way to Julie's that day. I'm bummed I won't be able to attend due to FD function that same day.

Doug I don't understand what you're saying. On the way to Julies what day? Julie would be 200 miles out of my way going there and back.

Well, the big day is tomorrow! Good luck to you guys/gals with your entries. Let's see pics of the trophies/ribbons or whatever the prices are.

Feel free to send me samples of your entries to test if you feel somewhat unsure of it. I'll surely give you my honest opinion.

No. I'm Irish... ST PATTY's Day

 

[Runningwolf]

Daisy good luck tomorrow and let us know as soon as you hear. I hope you kick that guys as$ from last year!

 

[ffemt128]

Good Luck Daisy. Can't wait to hear how you did.

Half Irish and born on St. Patty's day,,, It's not all that it's cracked up to be, because no one gives a hoot about your bday

 

[ffemt128]

I know it's early on, but any results?

 

[Flem]

C'mon Daisy, the suspense is killing us. LOL

 

[Runningwolf]

I bet she kicked butt. Any ribbon or placement is exciting. The main reason I started competing locally was to get to know other wine makers in the area. I have met a lot of great people this way like Kevininpa.

The competitions though like Wade always says are very subjectional. I entered a wine in California and got a gold medal and first runner up for best of show in Northeast Pa (this is how I met Kevin..he got best of show) the same wine in two east coast competitions did not even place.

The most important thing to remember is do you and most importantly, your spouse like it?

 

[Daisy317]

Beaujoulais Nouveau - 1st place - dry red
Strawberry Merlot - 2nd place - "other"
Dry Niagara - 2nd place - dry white
Whitetail Wine / Sweet Niagara - 3rd place - sweet white

 

[Runningwolf]

That is totally awesome for your first competition. Way to go Daisy!!

 

[Daisy317]
