Inside the Judging Room

Most of us have spotted a gold medal sticker on a bottle of wine, but what happens behind the scenes to earn it? Host Kellie Tannock takes you inside the world of wine shows, where hundreds of wines are judged blind, reputations are built, and the quality of an entire wine region is put under the microscope.  From judges and scoring systems, to the value wine shows bring to both producers and consumers, our guests help uncover how this mystical process helps shape the wines we enjoy.Thanks to Pip Heaford of the Margaret River Wine Association, winemaker Glenn Goodall and Associate Judge, Ulrika Larson (pictured judging at the Margaret River Wine Show).Thanks for listening and if you've enjoyed this podcast, please share with your family and friends.
