I know harvest is upon us and you’re probably busy getting ready for that, but who couldn’t use a little extra recognition these days? As you might have seen in our recent announcement that this year due to the restrictions with Covid and public gatherings we will be facilitating the 2020 Best of the Northwest wine judging remotely. As we plan for this new format we are trying to get an idea of the number of submissions we will have so we can plan accordingly with our esteemed panel of wine judges.
