Entered my first AWS competition

[shen]

Our local winery sponsored an American Wine Society competition today. I've only been making wine for 2 years, and wasn't going to enter, however I was strongly persuaded that I should, so I decided to enter 5 bottles. I only entered wine I made from juice or fruit and no kits. There were 70 bottles entered total, 8 of those won Gold medals. Here's my results:

2011 Steuben - Bronze
2011 Riesling - Bronze
2011 - Cinnamon Apple - Silver
2010 - Geisenheim - Gold
2011 - Red Raspberry - Gold

This was a first for me. I've never had any of my wines judged. It was a great experience.
