The Mid-American Wine Competition held on the Des Moines Area Community College's (DMACC's) Ankeny Campus is seeking local judges for the 2008 wine competition. The competition will be held on July
10, 11, and 12 to evaluate wines produced in the Midwest.The head judge is Doug Frost. Frost is one of three people in the world to have both qualifications of Master of Wine and Master Sommelier. The director of the Competition is Bob Foster, longtime wine judge and co-founder of the San Diego National Wine Competition and writer for the California Grapevine wine newsletter.
To compliment this duo, DMACC is seeking local wine talent to help judge the wines. Foster will administer a Judges Qualifying Exam on May 31 at 10:00 am on the DMACC campus to find local judges. The exam will not test wine knowledge but rather an individual's tasting ability, consistency and recognition of wine faults. If you are interested in taking the Judges Qualifying Exam, please contact Bob Foster at snipped-for-privacy@dmacc.edu. or at snipped-for-privacy@san.rr.com
