We welcome you back in what will be a bigger and better competition this year. Last year, we had 318 entries from 10 states and Saskatoon, Canada. We are expecting more entries this year. The wine competition will be February 17th. I have included the brochure and entry form. Please forward to other members of your wine club and friends you think would be interested in entering their wines. You can also download the brochure and entry form from our website at www.mvws.org Deadline for entry and wine delivery is February 11th. This year, we have a number of sponsors that have generously donated gift certificates for the major prize awards. We have awards for the thirteen prize categories this year valued at over $2,300. The winner of the Best of Show and Winemaker of the Year Awards will receive a 65 Liter (17.3 U.S. Gallons) Variable Capacity Tank w/Accessories (stand not included). At this point, we will have 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards for each of the other prize categories. That may change as we get more sponsors. To qualify for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards, your wine must have scored a bronze medal or higher.
