As a regional show we take pride in the fact that this event is an exploration of the entire region, giving voice to the diversities of our landscape through the wine that the vineyards produce. Once again the number and quality of entries has ensured that the standard of this year’s Show continues to reach the high level of regard for which the show has become renowned. Remaining true to our commitment to shed light on every wine producing corner of the Limestone Coast Zone, our dinner this year will be hosted by the Mount Gambier region. It is a great pleasure for us to bring the entire winemaking community of the Limestone Coast to Mount Gambier to celebrate Australia’s most recently declared GI. Returning for his fourth year as Chairman of Judges is acclaimed wine writer Huon Hooke. Huon has been joined by another esteemed panel of judges including international judge, UK wine writer Quentin Johnson and Winemaker Andrew Wigan who returns to the Limestone Coast for his ninth show. The Committee bid farewell to our last two remaining original committee members this year as Pete Bissell and Ulrich Grey-Smith retired from service. Fortunately their absence was short lived as both have returned for the 2011 Show in the capacity of Associate Judges. We would like to extend a sincere thank you for your support of the Limestone Coast Wine Show and helping to make sure that this wonderful event continues into the future.
