Pete has been making mead for over 30 years, and is also a trained winemaker, with education from U.C. Davis, and a family tradition of winemaking that goes back generations. I guess you could say he has some experience!
Tonight Pete comes on with us to talk about competitions. What’s going on with them, some of the background and behind the scenes efforts, and insight into what makes a competition tick. This is a must-listen if you run a comp, or are thinking about creating or entering one!
