The great white wine competition

[kevinlfifer]

i received another entry today, but it does not say which member it belongs to. it is marked as "two sips"

SORRY John

I forgot to attach the other label. It is a Chilean Chardonnay, made from juice acquired at Gentile Juice. Added golden raisins, a bit of sugar to get the SG up, and home toasted oak.

I had sent a PM to correct that

I keep my white wine unit @ 46F By the time I pour I figure it around 52F. An even drinking (playing) field is all one can ask for.

OK,

So the question.. To chill or not to chill...

I would like to work it where we either chill all of the wines, or chill none of them.

I will leave it to you folks to decide..

Let's keep shipping

I want to put in my 2 cents. To me any wine or beer for that matter chilled much below 60* you lose the taste of fine flavors. But heck it could because all the time I spent in Southern Europe

 

[Rodnboro]

I say chilled

 

[joeswine]

Great white and country wines contest

OKAY WHO'S STILL OUT ??????

 

[heatherd]

I say chilled, for all of them.

John, Joe & your judges how do you want to taste the wines? Present them how you would want your wines to be presented. This is your event and it wasn't stated it the guidelines so you decide. I for one can't thank you enough for this opportunity to get feedback for just shipping cost. Thank you (repeat several times)!

Agreed. However you drink your wine is the way they should be judged. The challenge will be to make sure they're all @ that same temp.

Makes perfect sense. If the judges drink their white wines at 75 degrees, then that's probably how they should test them. Drinking them at a significantly different temp might change the way they perceive flavors and aromas.

For us procrastinators, what is the drop dead arrival date? I got paid yesterday so I have no excuse not to package them up and send them out tomorrow. I'll P.M. JohnT with the tracking number when I send it, next week...zzzzzzz....zzzzz...

Edit: I have an excuse, forgot UPS Ground doesn't deliver on Saturdays until we get closer to the holidays. Will ship Monday.
