SFChron Wine Judging Results

by TomHill » Tue Jan 15, 2019 12:55 pm

Results have just been released for the SFChron Wine Competition:
SFChronWineCompetition

The one winner that stood out in my mind is the Sparkling Wine Sweepstakes Award: Trump Wnry Blanc de Blanc 2014. Won't be long afore we'll be hearing loud boasts coming from the WhiteHouse on who's the World's greatest winemaker. It's a wine designed to be served in the Oval Office to football players w/ Wendy's/McDonald's/BurgerKing/DominoPizza fare.

A rather unusual list of winners. Meomi Sparkling first in the Blanc de Noirs. The best Gruner comes from NewJersey, making MikeOfficer's GV just an also-run.

Anyway...interesting results...but don't waste a lot of time poring over the them. They've not listed the judges yet, which would be interesting. No doubt the finest palates available.

Stupid competition...perpetuating the concept of stupid competitions.

We agree on something this time, David.
I sorta wonder what EstherMobley thinks of these results? I'd like to see her comments in the Chron.

Yes, year after year this always seems like the poster child of useless wine competitions.
