Hello all,
I need help in deciding what to do. As the Chief Coordinator for a wine
competition (Chief Perpetrator to non-winners) , I am in a quandry. The wine
competition that I coordinate judges both Commercial and Non-commercial
side-by-side. There is nothing to prevent (as yet) anyone who wants to enter
a secondary wine or tertiary wine. This past year we did have someone ( home
winemaker) who entered two or three secondary wines. I got a few jaundiced
looks from the judges, but the wines did fare well. However, the comments
from the judges were that they really didn't care to judge secondary wines.
I have since met a few other Home winemakers (homies) who make secondary and
tertiary wines.
My questions are;
Are there any other wine competitions that have categories, or
that judge secondary and tertiary wines?
If you have judged wines; would you prefer not to judge
secondary or tertiary wines?
Is it hersy to enter a seondary wine in a wine competition?
