The Wine Competition Details
This year’s competition will be all about 2nd run wines (Doug Markin calls them patio wines). Wines that have been entered will be set out on the competition tasting table. This will be a blind tasting with no winemaker identification on the bottles. You may taste one, two or all wines – the choice is yours. Everyone attending the bbq will receive one ballot to vote for their favorite 2nd run wine. Ballots will be tallied at 5:30pm and the winner announced. The new Summer Social trophy will be awarded.
Nanaimo club members in good standing can enter one wine into the competition. If you wish to enter a wine, email Doug Markin (dcmarkin1978@gmail.com) to get entry instructions.
