Announcing the 2024 Wine Tasting! A 20+ year old tradition in a steep decline!
This year’s theme, same as past year’s theme:
“It might (not) get better, but it still won’t go away!”
A light tasting of the chemistry of our peers –
Celebrating 2 decades of wine-tasting comradery!

We are continuing the multi-decade tradition of taking a break from the serious business of fire & light to test the fruits & labors of the greatest chemists of all.

PLUS: We celebrate the WPA’s 35th Birthday!

WHAT:
Liquid Competition: Bring a bottle of your finest choosing; categories are “ALL!”
For you foodies: an Artisanal Food Competition with awards will hopefully bring out the best in you. PLEASE PARTICIPATE – Bring your favorite, most secrete dish – the judges are salivating!
Remember, this is a light, fun tasting competition; not a full dinner with an open bar. Tiny cups & plates provided.
1st and 2nd prizes will be awarded for each category plus any other categories the judges damn well please.
WHEN:
5:30pm Friday, PROMPT! Note time and day. We’re going to taste, judge, cheat & wrap this up in 45 minutes. So don’t be late!

WHERE:
At the Pyro Pavilion in the RV area of the parking lot.

HOW:
An objective judging process has been established and trust me, it will be completely honest.
It is as follows:
Last year, Todd went AWOL after 20 years of tasting, but fear not! He has returned, so when it comes to standing on a table telling the crowd to shut up, all will be as it was.
Linda is absent this year, so Molly & Amber will be our electoral college: Amber will manage/discipline the crowd and Molly will award the prizes. Losers take home all the leftovers.
Everyone gets ballots to cast as they chose.

AGAIN THIS YEAR: Kief Adler, has been declared by the Wine Bored Of Directors to be our Cheater-In-Residence and thus will be forcibly recused from competing.

AS BEFORE: The wine gods have chosen Steve Wilson to be the democratically selected winner of Friday night’s vote. Our esteemed judges will be struggling to count votes without either interfering. We’ll see how well that works.
Selling votes, twisting arms, lying & cheating is expected and encouraged of course.
And, like last year, Steve Yoss will be hosting the event at the Pyro Pavilion in the RV Area of the parking lot.
So, be there or be square. And be on time! Our crowd will be huuuuuuuuuge!
