150 Wines A Day

Chuck Zimmerman

Indy International Wine CompetitionHere’s a competition that I would love to be a judge for. It’s the 15th annual Indy International Wine Competition which will be held July 27-29 in the Blue Ribbon Pavilion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

“This is the third largest wine competition in the United States,” said Jeanette Merritt, wine marketing specialist for the Indiana Wine Grape Council, located at Purdue University. More than 3,600 wines will be tasted and evaluated by eighty judges from all over the United States, Canada and Europe. Each judge will taste approximately 150 wines a day.

150 wines a day? Oh my. Jeannette, I hope your days as a farm broadcaster prepared you well for this event! I do have the right Jeannette Merrit? Wish I could be there blogging this one!
