Windber, Pennsylvania Amateur Winemaking Competition

[wineon4]

Congrats that is an awesome win for your first. I heard the announcement for the Coffee Port and was going to talk with you guys but did not find you after. If you noticed less than 40% of the wines entered received a Medal, I have seen competions where close to 100% of the wines received at least a Bronze. This either is an indication that the Judges were tough on scoring or since it was the first year for the event that not many winemakers were aware of the competion. Only 62 bottles were judged and 25 received medals leaving 37 without an award. The medals were 6 Gold, 6 Silver, and 13 Bronze. I will be entering next year. I have a competion in Lanchaster this Saturday.

I was actually in Florida during the event this weekend, but John went to find out the results. I know he stuck around to talk to the judges, but he had to drive to Pittsburgh shortly thereafter. We will hope they were just tough and our wines were that awesome . We will definitely be entering some other competitions!
