2022 Competition Recap
After two years of cancellations due to covid, we were excited to host the 2022 Santa Cruz County Fair 2022 Amateur Wine Division competition. It was a load of fun - and a whole lot of work for the Committee of volunteers.
The list of winners plus photos from the judging and tasting events can be seen on the 2022 Competition Page
The tasting even was a success. We did a flight schedule for all the gold medal winning wines - which was appreciated by all.
