An incredible array of palates will gather
to assess the best of the best at the Chardonnay
Shootout finals on August 15, 2007.
Defining
Chardonnay Styles
The
final judging will be held at La Scene at
the Warwick Regis Hotel in San Francisco.
The Chardonnay Shootout
will explore and assess different styles
of Chardonnay. We will denote the descriptors
and scores of the panelists and if there
is a definitive difference, we will describe
the wines as experienced by the female and
male panelists as well as the attendees
in an attempt to discover whether women
and men prefer different wine styles.
Affairs
of the Vine and Wine Works will conduct
The Chardonnay Shootout
prelims throughout June and July. The final
judging will be conducted on Wednesday,
August 15, 2007 at the Warwick Regis Hotel
in San Francisco.
Articles
featuring The Chardonnay Shootout
will appear in numerous wine publications.
The finalists will be showcased at a special
Chardonnay Shootout event later this year
for consumers, press and trade.
