2010 Decanter World Wine Awards: photos from 1st day of Loire judging

Chee Wee Lee

As reported in the previous post we had two panels judging the Loire today due to the unprecedented level of entries, We judged a range of whites including wines from Cheverny, Reuilly, Menetou-Salon, Pouilly-Fumé, Sancerre, Muscadet, Touraine, Savennières, Vouvray and the Coteaux du Layon.

Although the three new judges fitted in very well today, the number of wines left to taste means that there will be just one panel tomorrow – reuniting last year's judges:

Chris Kissack
Decidedly beyond the call of duty, Chris Kissack was up at around 4am this morning to catch an early flight from Edinburgh to London Stansted.

Much as though I would like to give more detail about the judging and the results, that will have to wait I'm afraid until the results are published.
