“D DAY” APPROACHES
Much activity here at Competition Headquarters as the deadline approaches for the Competition’s 2012 Awards and Trophies Presentations Dégustation Banquet, and for the launch of the Competition’s 2012 website, both of which occur on Saturday, 25 February.
At the Banquet, to demonstrate that a wine’s style is more important in wine/food matching than its grape variety, age, label or price, we present the three top wines – the Trophy contenders – from several of the thirteen Style Categories – alongside an appropriate food course. Apart from the Wineries representatives, the Dégustation Banquet is open to all Oenophiles (from the Greek: oinos - wine, and philos or philia - love. Hence, Lover of Wine. Little bit of trivia for you!).
