Wine Competitions: What You Need to Know to Enroll and Compete

Placer County Wine and Grape Association (PCWGA) welcomes SHW members to their April 10 meeting when you’ll hear about home wine competition strategies, prepping your wines, and what the judging scores mean.

Wine competition veteran PCWGA member Mike Ortin shares his experiences and knowledge. The evening meeting is at Rocklin’s Cante ao Vinho Winery tasting room. The event’s details can be found here.

A little historical trivia: Cante ao Vinho’s owners are Tom and Jackie Farhina and Frank Farinha. The Farinha’s were SHW members through the mid 2000’s. They grow much of the grapes used in their Portuguese, Italian, and Spanish varietals.
