Wellington wine tasting chance

Wine drinkers are being offered a chance to become judges in top national competitions - the Air New Zealand Wine Awards, the Bragato Wine Competition and the Liquorland Top 100.

Winegrowers chief executive Philip Gregan said people with a keen palate and a deep interest in wine were wanted.

Potential judges would be assessed at a judge evaluation tasting to be held in Blenheim on August 28.

Tasters interested in being evaluated should contact Suzanne Hill at New Zealand Winegrowers, 09 3065554 or email Suzanne@winz.org.nz.
