20 AGRICULTURE Rules & Regulations 1. Amateur winemakers residing in Williamson County or who are members of the Tennessee Viticulture Oenological Society are eligible to enter non-commercial TN wines. 2. An amateur winemaker makes wine either alone or in collaboration with other winemakers. If there is collaboration, all persons must be named on the entry form and are considered one entrant. Because this is an AMATEUR competition, no individual or any member of the group should be directly involved in commercial winemaking. Commercial winemaking is a business enterprise certified as a bonded winery, authorized by BATF for the production and sale of wine. Any persons who own, manage, supervise or are receiving any form of compensation (money, grapes, wine, etc.) for being involved with the operation of any non-residential wine making facility (wine school, wine club, etc.) may NOT enter the Williamson County Fair Wine Competition. 3. Fruits/juices must be home prepared and be free of artificial coloring or flavor enhancers other than oak. 4. One 750 ml bottle (one 750 ml bottle for Ice Wines) of each wine entry must be submitted in corked or capped bottles for every wine entered. No entries will be returned. 5. Judges evaluate wine on color, clarity, bouquet, flavor and overall presentation (exclusive of the label, bottle, etc.) 6. Amateur winemakers may not use the facilities or products, other than juice (which may be sulfited), of a commercial winery during any stage of wine preparation and/or storage of the wine. 7. The number of entries is limited to a maximum of twelve (12) wines per entrant. Twelve (12) wines from a husband and twelve (12) wines from his wife will NOT be allowed. An entrant may submit only one (1) wine in any subcategory except for the Other category where more than one (1) can be submitted, if each wine is of a different variety. A wine that has received an award in a previous Williamson County Fair Competition is not eligible. 8. Wine Classification Rules include the following: a. Grape varieties as varietals are classified as Vinifera, Hybrid, and Native. The origin of many Native varieties is unknown because of spontaneous hybridization. These grapes will be classified as Native in this competition. b. Wines entered as varietals should contain at least 75% of that variety and should not be blended with any other varieties that markedly alter the primary varietal characteristics of that wine. For Vinifera/Hybrid, Hybrid/Native, etc see Blends description. c. Varietals less than 75% should be entered as Blends. d. No wine shall be accepted if it contains more than 25% of any grape variety of the same vintage from which another wine was made which is entered in any other category or subcategory, with the exception that the same varietal wine can be entered in the Aperitif/Dessert, Rose (for Red varieties) or Sparkling categories if it is the result of a separately fermented batch. 20

21 AGRICULTURE 9. Blends that include grape wine and fruit wine must be entered in the Fruit category. Fruit or non-grape wines which are sparkling or fortified must be entered in the respective Sparkling or Aperitif/Dessert categories. 10. All wines judged will be judged according to their relative merits within the class. The BEST OF SHOW winner will be that wine which is clearly superior in its class and has an overall enological excellence that surpasses all other wines in the competition. 11.
