Welcome to the next chapter of Hot 100 Wines
The new season of Hot 100 Wines is underway, as chief judge Peter Dredge introduces this year’s judges and tells us what’s in store.
Tamrah Petruzzelli (project manager), Mark Reginato (chief steward) and I are pumped to get the Hot 100 show rocking again this year.
Wine classes will continue to follow a typical modern wine list format, from Sparkling to Orange and Vermouth to fortified styles with everything in between. Judges, as always, are from varying fields. This diversity means a level playing field for exhibitors. From sake to cheese to wine-purveyors, -makers and -writers both local and from afar, we will cover styles from across the world for our Hot 100 community.
We also have an incentive for new producers: New to the Game. If you’re a new or up-and-coming producer, throw your hat in the New to the Game ring. The award will work like this: after we finish judging, we’ll look back on our findings and declare the highest ranked wine from a new producer (three years or younger) as our best new act. That’s some seriously handy recognition for your budding adventure in wine and hey, you might just win the whole thing.
