We welcome another contributor, “The Prudent Winemaker” (Sandy Burke), not to be confused with “The Thrifty Winemaker”, although there’s no reason why someone couldn’t be both, with ideas on making sweet wines. And, although regrettably there was no Festival this year, the judging took place as scheduled, and with some impressive results. These are summarized in the following pages, along with some photos, courtesy of David Burns, of the judges and stewards as they made their way professionally through a near-record 694 entries.

In addition there is advance information on AWO 2004, to be held in Peterborough; even more advance information on AWO 2006, to be held in Ottawa; and information, entry form and bottle label for the 2003 Eastern Ontario Amateur Wine Competition, still going strong and continuing to attract high-quality entries from across the province and beyond.
