I heard that they delayed the competition for another month.

I thought at one point it was supposed to be June 22? Everything is upside down.

 

[joeswine]

I think it's usually held during the conference in June, but that was cancelled this year.

I received mine in the mail on Monday.

Got a bronze for my 2019 Pinot Noir. I was kind of bummed (not about the award. That's just cool to have). I was really hoping the judges would provide a bit more critique. They provided some, but being my first competition, I was hoping for more written feedback to assist me with future endeavors. Then again, I totally understand that getting your palate blown out tasting and reviewing hundreds of wines might lead to a bit of writer's cramp. lol

But were they consistent? I only entered one competition and the comments went from "you should go commercial" to "you should give up your hobby" for the same wine, exaggerating of course.
