Behind the Scenes at a Wine Competetion
3rd Annual Idaho Wine Festival, August 2006
Doubletree Hotel - Riverside, Boise, Idaho

There is a lot more to a Wine Competetion than tasting
wines. Behind the scenes, there are many people
coordinating the samples. The following sequence of
photographs explores some of those tasks. These tasks
include sorting the wines, pouring the wines, keeping
the flights straight, serving and having a good time!
This year's event was held at the Doubletree Hotel
Riverside
, Boise, Idaho. Be there August 26, 2006
for a public tasting of these wines, 5:00pm - 9:00pm.
