If you can wait, I would still love to send out an entry. It has just been nuts lately and I have not had a chance to box one up. I could probably do that this weekend.
Ok, make that an unofficial hold on the contest. I know our judges might have wanted to proceed this weekend, but if they will agree, we'll wait for John's entries. I can certainly understand about getting swamped by life. Get them bottles in the mail, John. We'll stand by.
Anyone else who said they were entering and needs more time, you got it. If we don't hear from you, here, we'll be proceeding after John's entries show up. That's our new deadline. Eevryone OK with this?
I call BS on JohnT. If he wants to enter now he needs to seed a bottle to each person that entered. After that he will spend one weekend in the opposite corner with nothing but crackers and fermented Welches.
Just herd from Steve via email that he is "not" participating. Sorry for the confusion....I had the impression that he was going to send samples last week. Now, if we just find out about John, we should be good to go.
I vote "full speed ahead"....I think we've done pretty good trying to get those who originally committed to carry through. If no wine received yet (week late) AND no word, then let's go! What say Dave and judges?
