The Results are coming tomorrow – online first at SFGate.
A wine judge's day at work
It’s been a grueling week in Cloverdale at the top end of Sonoma County. Chris Sawyer is one of over 60 judges who lent a palate to help evaluate 4,913 wines this year.
Our team has been running what has become the largest judging of American wine on the planet. Granted they don’t have large competitions of American wine in China and Europe but nobody is doing it bigger with juice in the US.
Up in Sonoma County I’ll be on KSRO 1350 AM, discussing the action with Tom Simoneau tomorrow morning, that’s Friday my goodness, which is fast approaching.
On Saturday I’ll be on the KRON morning show, live on the tele with Henry at 8:45 a.m. to taste and discuss some of the big winners.
Later that morning at 10:30 a.m. I’ll be on KGO 810 AM with host Gene Burns and Wine Editor Jon Bonne from the Chronicle, reviewing the week of judging and the trends in this year’s competition.
See you soon!
