Cab Franc Challenge Update - Night 2 - Wednesday Nov. 14

Night two saw a smaller crowd (than night 1 - by 2 people) gather to rate another 12 Cabernet Francs in the regular category ... while we did not have a controversy over labeling like last time - we did have some trouble with a couple of bottles; be it corked, bret or other forms of faults. These two wineries battled it out for last place with two faulty bottles each ... this is truly a shame because I had tried both wines over the summer and neither showed signs of any kind of fault at that time.

On a more positive note ... Night 2's winner inched out Night 1's winner by a mere .02 ... making it the overall leader, for the time being; we have another 8 Regular Cab Francs to judge at our Icewine evening, which has now been set for December 11.

More news as it unfolds from Night 3 (Tuesday November 20) when we try the blends.
