Glad to see all your meetings and hard work are coming to a good crescendo, Joe.
 
It"s about time

:try



JUST like others out there I tend to want to go out of the norm and try something else, this competition is a small town one but fun...you should enter....
 
I sent in 4 entries, the price was right!!
I live in North Jersey but I know Vineland well, I run a Garden Center and I visit the area quite often purchasing from the many nurseries in the area.
Best of luck with the event Joe.

thanks wine o for the support, next year we will be putting this out earlier, thanks again.:b
 
Vineland

Thank you fellows, so far we get to full cases of wine from out-of-state and had to come from us thank you again .

Vineland wine contest is being broken down into two components , first the judges choice awards will be held between August 3 and August 10 all winners will be notified , part two the People's choice awards, will be held on October 16 , the reason for that is that there wasn't enough outside, street vendor participation , that's a good thing because this now takes the venue inside and blends it with an event that is quite popular down here , so the wines you sent will not only be judged professionally as planned, but the second half, the People's choice awards will be at a paid function ,where food is served, people pay a fee to get in and the wine will be judged , this I can assure you, this is also a much better set up, once again all winners will be notified . that your update................................................................:br
 
Sounds good Joe. Let us know the details on the October event in case we can make it.

The following is a set of guidelines for how to award points within each category.
Appearance/Clarity:

The visual appearance of a wine is an important factor in influencing a wine taster. Modern winemaking techniques almost guarantee that all wine made today is bright, clear and attractive to look at.
spacer.gif
Brilliant, near-sparkly,
clear with no haze or particulates
(2 points)
Bright, some sparkle,
clear with no haze or particulates
(1.5 points)
Dull, mostly clear,
perhaps a hint of haze or particulates
(1 point)
Cloudy, unclear
with a distinct haze or particulates
(0 points)
spacer.gif
Color:

Like the appearance of a wine, color plays an important role in influencing wine taster opinions. Wine color should always be appropriate for the varietal and age of the wine being assessed.
spacer.gif
Appropriate color for varietal/type and age
(2 points)
Nearly correct color for varietal/type and age
(1.5 points)
Slightly off color for varietal/type and age
(1 point)
Flawed color for varietal/type and age
(0 points)
spacer.gif
Aroma/Bouquet:

Most wines exhibit highly-complex odors. The odors found in wines are really made up of two components: aroma and bouquet. Aroma is the set of odors that are related to the grape varietal(s) used to make the wine. Bouquet is the set of odors that are a result of the wine making process. The term “bottle bouquet” applies specifically to those odors caused as a result of the bottle aging process.
spacer.gif
Distinct varietal characteristics, balanced bouquet
(4 points)
Simply fruity characteristics, some bouquet
(3 points)
Little varietal character, simple bouquet
(2 points)
Underdeveloped nose, closed, non-apparent
(1 point)
Defective nose, off odors
(0 points)
spacer.gif
Total Acidity:

Wines are considered balanced when total acidity, body and alcohol are in the proper proportion to one another. Wines lacking acidity often taste “flabby,” while wines with too much acidity often taste sharp, or unripe.
spacer.gif
Proper balance, appropriate for varietal/type
(2 points)
Slightly out-of-balance, high/low acidity
(1 point)
Well out-of-balance, tart/flabby
(0 points)
spacer.gif
Sweetness:

Sweetness is an attribute that can enhance or detract from a wine. For each wine type/style, there are appropriate levels of sweetness that should be present.
spacer.gif
Appropriate sweetness, well enhanced/well balanced
(1 point)
Slightly off, either too sweet or too dry for type
(.5 point)
Far off, cloying, out-of-balance for type
(0 point)
spacer.gif
Body:

Body is the term used to describe mouth feel and weight. Full-bodied wines taste heavier in the mouth than do light-bodied wines, often having a “chewy” sensation on the palate.
spacer.gif
Appropriate body for varietal/type and age
(2 points)
Nearly correct body for varietal/type and age
(1.5 points)
Slightly heavy/slightly thin for varietal/type and age
(1 point)
Too heavy (clumsy)/too thin (vapid)
for varietal/type and age
(0 points)
spacer.gif
Flavor:

Wines exhibit a wide range of tastes and flavors that often become more complex as wine ages. Wines should also exhibit appropriate flavor characteristics/complexity for its varietal/type.
spacer.gif
Complex flavors,
appropriate for varietal/type and age
(2 points)
Simple flavors,
appropriate for varietal/type and age
(1.5 points)
Agreeable flavors,
appropriate for varietal/type and age
(1 point)
Non-descript flavors,
in-appropriate for varietal/type and age
(0 points)
spacer.gif
Acescency (Bitterness):

Acescency is the measure of bitterness in a wine and is frequently part of the varietal characteristics of a wine. Regardless of varietal characteristics, a wine should remain balanced and the bitterness, if present should not detract from the wine.
spacer.gif
Well balanced, no perceptible bitterness
(1 point)
Slightly bitter, but still in balance
(.5 points)
Overly bitter, un-balanced
0 points)
spacer.gif
Astringency:

Astringency is the measure of tannin in a wine. Tannin is the compound responsible for the dry, puckering sensation one feels after tasting a glass of (red) wine. Because tannin is generally found in higher amounts in young, full-bodied wines and less so in well-aged wines, one must be careful to measure astringency based on the varietal/type and age of a wine.
spacer.gif
Appropriate levels of tannin for
the varietal/type and age
(1 point)
Slightly high/low levels of tannin for
the varietal/type and age
(.5 points)
Overly tannic/overly flaccid for
the varietal/type and age
(0 points)
spacer.gif
Overall Quality:

Points for overall quality are the most subjective piece of this scoring model. Generally these points are awarded based on the overall impression that the wine leaves on a taster.
spacer.gif
Wines of “noble” quality
with distinguishing characteristics
(4 points)
Wines that are “charming”
with some special characteristics
(3 points)
Wines that are typical of the varietal/type and age
(2 points)
Wines with no exceptional characteristics,
but not flawed
(1 points)
Wines with no exceptional characteristics,
and possess flaws
(0 points)

Vineland NJ Amateur Wine Competition Aug 10 2013

winners list thanks f
Below is the original email:

Again, thank you for participating in this year’s Homemade Wine Competition.

The professional judges were here earlier this week, sampled each entry and selected the winners, which are noted below. Congratulations to those of you who won. Your Judges’ Choice medals will be shipped to you in the coming days. All entrants will receive the judges’ score sheets via regular mail (please be aware that one judge was from France. As such, his “1” looks like a “7” on the score sheets).

The People’s Choice portion of the competition will take place on Wednesday, October 16, beginning at 6:00 p.m. upstairs at Mori’s on Landis (830 E. Landis Ave) in Vineland, at Main Street Vineland’s annual “Taste of Vineland” event. This is a ticketed event at which attendees sample a wide variety of foods offered by many outstanding area restaurants.

Normally, the cost to attend is $40.00 per person; however, since each of you has already made an in-kind contribution by virtue of entering the wine competition, we are pleased to offer tickets to you at just $20.00 each (please note that this applies only to you as a contestant: any friends or family are certainly welcome to attend, but as this is a fundraiser to support projects going on in downtown Vineland, their cost would be $40.00 per person). The event has a limited number of tickets available, so if you are interested in attending, please let me know and I will be glad to reserve tickets for you.

While we would love to have you attend, please know that it is not necessary for you to be at the event; and whether you attend or not will have no bearing on the final results. Judging will be carried out anonymously (just as it was during the professional judging) and winners will be announced thereafter with People’s Choice medals being subsequently shipped.

Again, thank you and congratulations to all of this year’s winners!
