Wines from famous vineyard districts around the world will compete for gold, silver, and bronze medals in this 'just-for-fun' six event taste-off (June/July/August 2007). Each event's dinner and tasting price is set at $60 per person and all profits will go towards benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Texas. Professional judges have been selected and will be responsible for the official rankings of the wines in the competition. Each judging (at various area restaurants) will be announced to our members so that each of you may choose to come as spectators/non-official tasters of the wines we've selected as worthy competitors. Judging results (double blind) will be tabulated and announced after each taste-off. We heartily recommend that you make the effort to come to one of these special events or to find the winning wines in your market to see why we thought they were so outstanding amongst their peers! (This site will post all medal winners immediately following the event.)
