has anyone heard of the disposistion of this one ,on or off if not when?? just asking.
 
Don't know, I decided to enter the American Wine Society one in November instead. They have both a commercial and amateur competition. Was also told the judging is stricter but more consistent. Last year at Winemaker Magazine my entries went from gold and silver to brother you suck. I'm looking for critique that gave me no useful feedback.

It is still on but delayed until end of June. I received an email stating postponement and that all wines are being kept in secure and climate controlled storage
 
Took Best of Show in the desert wine category
For this port it will be the 6th time overall that it has taken a best of show, cant go any higher or do better.

That's awesome! I entered my three creations from last year (second year making wine). Got a bronze for my Pinot Noir. I cannot wait to get the judges notes back to see what kind of improvements they suggest.
 
Just remember it's all subjective.however it does make you feel good no matter what the outcome.
 
DP Cellars , how did you make your pino any tweaks? They a different.

Aside from throwing the yeast in, I didn't do or add anything. Just let the grapes do what they wanted. Despite no clarifying, fining, or filtering, it came out crystal clear with no sediment in the bottles. Aside from the labels, I can't take credit for much, except picking and crushing.... Oh yeah... And tasting. 😉
