oooops!

i missed one. heatherd, your entry is here too!

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

JohnT - are you planning on chilling any of these whites or not ?

I can at the request of the contestant. Normally at 60 degress otherwise.

I think it would be fair if everyone wines were at 60 degrees - just wondering ?

I personally want to thank you for making this entire process happen - i know it is not an easy task

Don't mention it. It's my pleasure.

Also remember to thank Joeswine too.

White wines should be chilled down to ~45-50F before hand.

After Steve posted his suggested 60* temp, it got me wondering if there is a rule on standard temps for white wines in competition. All I got after a half hour of searching is - temps between 50 and 60* are normal for white wines and you should chill your wine to the temp you like best. Nothing on "what the rule is" in competition... So, I didn't find that terribly helpful.

Personally, I like my white wines chilled below 50*.
