WMT (Unofficial) Welch's Wine Competition

Kraffty,
How did you do that label, is it painted on, or is it printed on a clear blank label?
It's cool!

 

[reefman]

Arrrrgh! Now I want to see everyone's labels!!



Oh hell, I didn't even think as I typed that. I think it's actually a British term. I read too much and watch too much BBC.

Urban dictionary says....To be very pleased, proud or happy with yourself

I've always seen it used as a term for excited so that's how I meant it.

Wait, You can't be a Doctor Who fan, are you?
...or Down-ton Abby?

Just a wee bit. My latest obsession is Orphan Black.

I'm a big Doctor Who fan...Sherlock as well. Downton Abby makes me bawl every.darn.time. Torchwood made me cry so hard that Manthing has banned watching them again.

I receive Danger Dave and rodnboro today...

 

[ffemt128]

Ill post a pic of all wines to be judged prior to chilling. So far all loo5 crystal clear. Planning on a small picnic with friends and neighbors on Saturday of Memorial day weekend. At least one forum member will be present, others may be unavailable. Will continue to update as wines are received...

 

[Boatboy24]

I've received 5 so far, with at least two more on the way. I'll be judging Memorial Day weekend as well and will be enlisting the opinions of a couple neighbors. All entries have been in my wine fridge since their arrivals and are resting comfortably at 58 degrees. So far, no fights have broken out between combatants.

So like "stoked"?

 

[ffemt128]

Received ChiPass wine today..

 

[chasemandingo]

I just hope my wine doesn't start breaking the other wine bottles in the fridge so as to gain a strategic advantage.

 

[Jericurl]

haha

Yes exactly.

 

[Kraffty]

Kraffty,

It's painted on but I need to come up with something better than a rubber stamp.

My bottles will arrive on Monday, I was thinking still had weeks to spare and just realized Memorial day is on the 26th. Time to start planning the next silly contest.

Next contest definitely has to be a non-kit port contest. Need to change things up a bit.

Can I enter my 2013 blueberry port? It hasn't been bottled yet.

Danger Dave was talking about a dragon blood contest

 

[wineforfun]

Danger D.J. likes a port contest.

haha
Sure can...............but you can't judge it this upcoming Memorial weekend though.
As long as it isn't a "kit" port then my rules state it can be entered.

 

[jojabri]

I've never done a port. Not even completely sure what it entails.

I could totally get down with a DB or alternative beverage (non juice) wine tea, coffee, etc or even a candy wine contest. I've had pretty good success with blueberry candy canes and skittles. I have some other candies that I'm planning on experimenting with.

Glad my Chi Pass wine found it's way safely to you you Boatboy. Hope the label was self explanatory enough. My hubby didn't get it.

 

[Boatboy24]

Got a bottle from JeriCurl today.

Be sure and save some to use for drain cleaner after the contest.
