On Friday night the medalists of the prestigious Orange Wine Show were announced at the annual trophy dinner held at Philip Shaw Winery.
Those award-winning wines and many more will be available for sampling at Saturday's Orange Wine Show Tasting, held between 5pm and 8pm at the Orange Showground's agriculture pavilion.
For $45 you will not only get the chance to drink some of the region's top drops but also compare your wine-judging skills with the experts and go into the running to take home a dozen of Orange's fantastic wines by casting your vote for your favourite in the inaugural People's Choice Award.
The Central Western Daily will be tallying the public's votes and announcing both the trophy winner and the randomly-drawn voter who will take home a dozen medal-winning wines.
Voting can be done in four ways, all of which require your name, phone number and the name of the wine and vintage you've selected.
You can vote via:
- the comments section at the bottom of this story
- the voting form printed in the Central Western Daily newspaper. Fill it in and drop it off at the Central Western Daily office at 132 Kite Street. Here's what it looks like:
- email to david.neil@fairfaxmedia.com.au
- the 'Central Western Daily' Facebook page. Each day we will publish a post asking for votes. Just enter your voting details in the comments section of one of those posts.
So head to Saturday night's Orange Wine Show Tasting and get judging.
