Interactive Wine Scoring
To make the tasting more interactive we decided to hand out personal score sheets. All those who filled out the personal scoring sheets were entered into a drawing for a free wine of their choosing.
The above categories were judged on a 1-5 point scale. Five being the max score per category and 25 being the max score per wine.
