Overall, I would say this meeting lived up to everyone’s expectations, especially since most of the wines were red. This is perfectly illustrated by the scores this month. They are a little lower than normal. It’s good to see that the Jersey Devil Red has finally made it to the bottle. It’s is a delicious table wine that is great with a meal but also impresses with it’s ability to stand alone without food.

  How Scoring Works @ JDWS

   Wine tasting scoring is based off of Robert Parker's 100 point scale. This is the most widely recognized and used way to taste and
score wines in the world. 

  In this scoring method we have 4 basic categories. They are sight, aroma, flavor, and overall impression. Each category gets a differnent point allotment. Sight gets 0-1 pts, Aroma gets 0-7 pts, Flavor gets 0-7 pts and Overall gets 0-5 pts.  This gives a wine up to 20 total points.  This total is then multiplied by 2.5 and then added to 50 to reach a true total on a 100 point scale.
