Very cool! First time entering a wine, I received a bronze for my Berry Bliss! It was very young, I'll gladly take it!!!
Thanks!

Thanks Doug. I will bring a couple bottles out the next time I make it out there. Probably won't make it tomorrow night. I have been gone all week

Thanks!

Give it six months or so and I bet it will be really good.

 

[Pumpkinman]

Agreed, I almost didn't enter based upon its age, wait until I enter a bottle next year...LMAO!!!
Thanks again!

I got my judges sheets & medal today!!! I had sent in a concord based wine and after reading the judges comments I realized that it may have scored differently if I had told them that it had peppercorns added and had been barrel oaked....... lesson learned
The judges stated that: The wines profile was confusing and woodsey somehow

That's alright. I was .25 points away from a bronze on my seyval and 1 pt away from a bronze on my Vidal/Seyval blend.

Looking at the notes - these wines were at the higher end of the off dry range - If i had entered them in sweet - they would have won a bronze

They commented that they score it lower because of that..

Could have chalked up 2 more - oh well - live and learn..

Notes, medals and prizes arrived today! Bonus medals for first place in category very cool! Can't wait to do some shopping with my gift cards. Looks like I need to work on getting better aroma on my some of my wines. Good feedback. A bit confused how a clear wine can score a "1" on appearance from one judge, a "2" from the next and "3's" from the others. Hmmm??? Oh well. BIG THANKS to MVWS for putting on the competition. Will do it again next year!
