I entered 3 of my 2005 wines. I hope to ribbon in at least 2 of them. One of them won a silver in a past competition. Tom

Good luck Tom...I enter the wines and will be looking for them. Bill Frazier Olathe, Kansas USA

Jason, I've been out of the winemaking loop for about 2 years, But have learned that UPS will not ship a home wine (shame on them!). How do us "homies" ship our entries? Especially if we live in anal-retentive states like Ari(d)zona?

Hello Joanne, welcome back. I check wines in for the Cellarmaster contest. Most are shipped UPS. Most packages are not labeled as to their contents. If you have to label contents some are labeled vinegar, fruit juice, test samples, marinade, etc.
