I'll be the first to admit that, though I do like to drink wine, I don't know much about it. I like dry, by what makes one dry and what are the subtle things--what flavors are hidden to the average palate--that makes one superior to the next. I do know that a really good wine tends to be a little more money--sometimes a lot more. So last night when I had to photograph the wine judging for the Crawford County Fair and noticed they were a couple judges short I couldn't resist volunteering to be a judge. They asked if I had credentials to be a judge and I had to admit that my criteria would probably be different than the guys who spit out a good portion of what they sampled(for obvious reasons--they wouldn't finish!) I was envious of the judges and the crowd who were on hand to perhaps help finish off the opened bottles(can't let wine go to waste afterall.) Meadville Tribune photograph by Richard Sayer
