2010 Decanter World Wine Awards: first day of Loire judging

Claude and Joëlle Papin: winners of the Regional Award for the best Loire sweet wine

Today sees the first day of judging for Loire wines. The good news is that the number of wines is apparently well up on previous years, which means for the first time we will need two panels of judges today, with one on Thursday.

As last year we have Chris Kissack (The Wine Doctor down from Edinburgh), Sarah Ahmed (The Wine Detective) and Nigel Wilkinson (RSJ Restaurant) for the two days. They will be joined today by Nick Room (wine buyer for Waitrose), Göran Klintberg (a Swedish wine buyer) and Chee Wee Lee (Equitable Nose on The Local Nose site based in Singapore).
