Hello all, I need help in deciding what to do. As the Chief Coordinator for a wine competition (Chief Perpetrator to non-winners) , I am in a quandry. The wine competition that I coordinate judges both Commercial and Non-commercial side-by-side. There is nothing to prevent (as yet) anyone who wants to enter a secondary wine or tertiary wine. This past year we did have someone ( home winemaker) who entered two or three secondary wines. I got a few jaundiced looks from the judges, but the wines did fare well. However, the comments from the judges were that they really didn't care to judge secondary wines. I have since met a few other Home winemakers (homies) who make secondary and tertiary wines. My questions are; Are there any other wine competitions that have categories, or that judge secondary and tertiary wines? If you have judged wines; would you prefer not to judge secondary or tertiary wines? Is it hersy to enter a seondary wine in a wine competition? Joanne
