Joe,

[ibglowin]

I can send in a couple. I will wait till later mid September hopefully it will cool off by then. Takes all week to get something to the east coast via FedEx or UPS ground. PM me your address John.

[geek]

I think elderberries make a big bold red wine, in fact some of the grape people who cant seem to get their grapes to be big and bold have been caught adding edlerberries WVMJ

Hi,
I would like to send in some reds I made a while back. Can you please send shipping info?
Thanks!

 

[LoneStarLori]

I promise mine will be sent early next week. I'm out of town but as soon as I get back, I'm going to pack and ship.
I'm going to be brave and send a youngster too. I sure hope you masters have some Tums on hand. You're going to need them.

wish us Canadians could get in on this, it's just too hard to get it there

Man, how I wish that I could change the competition's title to ..

The International big and bold competition!

If I were to change the requirement for Canadians to just 1 375ml bottle per entry, would that make a difference?

Thanks!

So glad to have you aboard! Address sent to you.

 

[vernsgal]

with our borders so bad right now I don't think the size would make a difference . But I'll be following the results! Good luck to you all. I'm sure there's going to be some awesome wines coming in!!

You could always hand carry your entries and make a vacation of it.
