The Judges' Picks for Most Promising Wines
After the preliminary round, a few of our judges told us about the flights that they found most promising.
Our judges are tasting a lot of wine this week at the International Value Wine Awards. If you're been watching the twitter hashtag #IVWA, we're sure that you will have seen a mix of positive and negative opinions on some of the wines that they have tasted.
Coming out of the preliminary round, we wanted to clarify how our judges really felt. If they had to choose, which wine flights were the most promising? Here are some of their answers.
Ben MacPhee-Sigurdson: "Syrah flight was great - lots of promise for the finals!"
Jackie Cooke: "Red blends."
David Walker: "Unoaked chardonnay."
Steve Thurlow: "Unoaked chardonnay."
DJ Kearney: "White blends get better and better." "Merlot much improved, oak use seems more balanced and fewer combustible wines."
Bill Zacharkiw: "Italian single varietals."
Craig Pinhey: "Oaked chardonnay - there were a couple classic, full-bodied, elegant wines with integrated oak."
