Jubilee – Wine Competition and Picnic – Awards Ceremony

May 18-19. The weekend was filled with fierce competitions and fun! 133 wines were judged in this Club-exclusive wine competition on May 18. The next day, we cast our label competition votes, languished in the shade while dining on pork sliders and potluck dishes, celebrated the top wine award winners, and tasted the competition’s wines. Thanks to the crews, judges, and coordinators, and special appreciation to Judy Pinegar and family for hosting the picnic.
