It is mandatory that you check the list of

Wine Competition Category Codes and

include the proper code for each wine you intend to enter.

Follow these three easy steps to

enter the 2008 competition:

Entering:

A complete entry is comprised of three (3) 750ml bottles, or the equivalent for commercial entries and two (2) 750ml bottles for amateurs. The winners will be presented at the Grand Tasting during the festival.  Grape varieties, residual sugar, appellation, vineyard designation, proprietary names and retail price and must be listed on the entry form with each entry.

Please fill out the entry form completely and accurately. The winery's telephone number, email address and contact person are important. Winners will be notified shortly after the end of the Competition by email, telephone or regular U.S. mail. The address you provide should be the address for shipment of medals following the competition.

Be careful to enter each wine in the proper category. If a category does not exist for your wine, leave the category blank and the Director or Chief Judge will assign the wine to the correct category or create a new category if necessary. Wines entered in the wrong category will be moved to the correct category by the Director or Chief Judge.

Please list each wine by its name AS IT APPEARS ON THE LABEL so the results will be recorded properly, allowing consumers to readily identify your medal-winning wine. Also enclose either labels or technical sheets with your mailed entry form or check.
