Want to make competition fun? Bring wine into the picture.

5 panels of judges sniffed, swirled and sipped 515 different varietals of wine on Saturday for the 2010 San Antonio Wine Competition. The results of this competition help to determine which wines are served at the San Antonio Wine Festival events, but they also help the general public through the sometimes intimidating wine aisles. Our judges were fantastic, the volunteers were organized and impressive, and of course the wineries came through with quality products---and this all led to a successful competition. The results will be published in the February 14th issue of the San Antonio Express-News. See below for a sneak peek into this endeavor.

Wine, Friends, and Good Times: The 2010 KLRN Wine Season Is Officially In Full Swing

Glasses were raised and the excitement and energy was radiating at the St. Anthony Hotel last night as the 2010 San Antonio Wine Festival Committee met for the first time. The crowd, filled with seasoned committee members as well as people that are new to the group, got a "taste" of what it is like to sit on the wine committee, and I must say, our committees have good times, they really do. This year's chairs, Dacia and Lanham Napier, are so filled with enthusiasm that it rubs off on whoever surrounds them. It is going to be a fun wine year, folks. It is never too early to get involved, so whether you are a restaurant who wants to participate in the festivities, a sponsor who wants to support a good cause or you are a patron who loves wine and public television, we look forward to seeing you all at the events of the 2010 year. And to our committee...Cheers!
