Legacy of the Indy Wine Competition: Jill Blume

There are a lot of wine competitions.  What value do they have for wine consumers?

The Indy International Wine Competition was one of the first of its kind that allowed wines from the eastern USA to be compared in blind ratings amongst wines from around the world.

 In this episode we talk about topics like:

• How wine competitions operate.
• What way the Indy competition helped promote wines from lessor know regions.
•  How judging wines of the same grape cultivar, but from different regions, can help us learn about what wine styles fit a grape cultivar.
• Ways wine consumers and wineries can use wine competitions as a tool.

Our guest is Jill Blume, an Indiana based enologist and Competition Director of the former Indy Wine Competition.  Join Anne and Randall as they have a fun conversation while sharing their experiences with wine competitions.
