(To be read sarcasticly)... yea, you would think it would be worth the trip just to be part of such a pretiegious event as this...

 

[Runningwolf]

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

Me too! Then I could say I beat all the Americans and Canadians!

 

[Runningwolf]

Whoa, that came out WAY bigger than original and I don't know how to reduce it. It must drink Welches for breakfast.

 

[vernsgal]

Dan this is for you!

John, I'm heading to West Orange this Sunday with my wife to visit her mom. I sent a PM to Joe asking if he lives far from West Orange, NJ.

Also wonder how far are you?

West orange is about 35 or 40 minutes from me. Perhaps we could meet up Sunday morning? It would save you a bit of money in freight!

 

[geek]

Not sure what time I will arrive NJ but it is a 2-hour drive from where I live.
40 minutes further south? If closer I wouldn't think twice....

I am just about due west of west orange. One solution could be to simply drop off the entry at your in-laws and I can run down and pick it up the following weekend.

I was looking that the scoring form and I'm wondering. Several of the criteria includes " appropriate for varietal/type and age". Does this mean the wine doesn't have to be old enough to drive yet? I have one that is about 10 months old in Oct and I'd like to send it in just to get feedback to be sure I'm on the right track.
