Mid-State Fair Home Winemaking Competition is On

Entries now being accepted for May event

PASO ROBLES — The Central Coast Home Winemaking Competition hosted annually by the California Mid-State Fair is now accepting entries. The competition will take place in May and feature wines made from San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Monterey counties.

The wines are separated into six categories: white, rose/blanc, red, dessert, wines made with fruit other than grapes, and sparkling. The categories are then separated into classes by varietal. The panel of local competition judges evaluate each entry according to appearance, aromatics and taste to determine an overall conclusion.

Chief Judge Mike Jones is putting together an extraordinary group of local judges for the annual competition. Judges are qualified based on their experience in the wine industry through multiple forms.

The registration period is now through Friday, April 22, and is $7 per entry. Register today at cmsfw.fairwire.com/
