The date has been set for the 2005 Wine Fair! It will be Sunday, March 6, 2005.
Each year the Missouri Winemaking Society (MWS) Wine Fair committee strives to improve our annual wine competition. This year we have made significant changes in the entry classifications. In the past, we have expanded generic classifications based on entries in order to compete varietals head-to-head. This year we have taken the opposite approach by defining specific varietal categories which may be combined or eliminated based on this year’s entries at the discretion of the wine fair committee. This year participants will see that there are two new Sections. The previous “Table Wine” Section has been split into “Dry” and “Off-Dry” wines. We have also made some minor changes to award categories and added a special award for MWS members in honor of the late Charlie Franke. The following page contains a one page summary of deadlines and entry information, but please read the remainder of the document since it has changed significantly from last year.
