Description: A unique wine judging where wine consumers evaluate the entered wines. Taster Guild’s consumer participants receive instructional seminars on how to judge wine objectively. As insurance that consumer judges are giving fair, objective consideration to each wine, the panels are guided by an experienced adviser, who has evaluated wines at advanced levels (the advisers are instructed to discreetly request a wine be reevaluated, if in their opinion, it has not received fair consideration).

Vermont wines faired well at the 23rd Annual International Wine Judging put on by Tasters Guild International. The judging was held April 28 – May 1, 2010. Thirty judges from across the country completed over 2,200 evaluations of wine from 10 countries and 32 states/provinces during this four day event. The judging panels were comprised of a carefully selected mix of retailers, winemakers, wine writers, restaurateurs and experienced consumers. As part of the total wine evaluation process, nearly 40% of the wines entered were randomly chosen for reevaluation to verify the accuracy and fairness of medal consideration.
