2015 Santa Barbara County Fair Home Wine Making Results
Hello CCHVA,
We had a very successful competition for the Santa Barbara County Fair and I want to personally thank all club members who helped out this year. Special thanks to Mark Plassard, Vern Veglia, Alex Van Dellen, Linda Thunen, and Hank Rickett who all stepped in to take over a little bit of what I do each year so I could spend some much needed vacation time in the Caribbean. And to the table captains, judges, apprentices, secretaries, and stewards, your being there really made this year go smoothly.
We had 83 wines entered (20% more than last year) and as you can see below, results worked out into a nice bell shaped curve. The Statisticians would be proud. If your wines scored well, CONGRATULATIONS! If not as well as you hoped, be sure to look at the comments from our judges and attend some of our events to get valuable feedback. Top honors this year went to Brad Bunkelman for Best of Show White and Mark Pomerantz for Best of Show Red. I am told both were absolutely excellent wines as were all our Gold Medal winners.
We are planning on awarding our Best of Show Plaques at our next Club Event.
Fred Carbone,
Fair Judging Coordinator
