Producers from around the world send in their sparkling wines for assessment by an expert panel, and as well as scoring the wines (a bit like a competition), they get a benchmarking report including sensory and technical analysis, as well as comments on suitability for the marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>It always feels a bit daunting getting involved with a new project like this. You are really putting your neck on the line: what if it doesn&#8217;t succeed? But we hope that the novel concept, the quality of the tasters, and the tie-in with the International Sparkling Wine Symposium (version 2 is due to take place in Spain next June) will help make this a great success. If you know of any sparkling wine producers, please do spread the word.<\/p>\n<p>The chairs are: Sam Harrop, John Worontschak, Jean-Marc Sauboua, and we also have Pieter Ferreira and Peter Liem on board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m involved with an exciting new project: the Sparkling Wine Review.
