Mazer Cup International

On second thought, Pete's right. Don't PM me. Any requests for verification will get to me via the email address that he already provided, and that way I don't have to look for them in multiple locations.

Patrons of Gotmead still get preference!

 

[Oskaar]

Good deal. Wayne has a very busy career and he's on the road quite a bit so it becomes very difficult to keep track of requests outside of the Mazer Cup email channel. I didn't want to take advantage of the generous amount of time and expertise he's already brought to this endeavor by adding another item to his already long list of contributions.

Cheers, and thanks for understanding, Pete

Hello. Again I think I have found a way to impede myself. I sent in my registration electronically and now realize i labeled it as regular rather than sack strength. Should I contact the mazer cup folks, or include a corrected form with my bottles that are ready to send?

Just send an email to HomeRegistrar@mazercup.com with the changes that need to be made. We'll take care of the updates on the backend database.

Cheers,
Glenn

I apologize in advance if this has already been covered somewhere in this thread, but what exactly does "Corks may not bear any designs..." actually mean in regards to the corked wine bottle rules. Most corks that I have or seen lately have some type of grape & leaf or manufacturer-type design e.g. Nomacorc. Will these types be DQ'd if sent in. ??? TIA

 

[wayneb]

Yup - we're being pretty Draconian with this rule, since it is one way to ID a particular set of bottles out of the masses. You can find blank (unprinted) corks pretty much wherever labeled corks are sold -- unless your particular LHBS isn't willing to stock them. In that case, you can get them from almost any mail-order homebrew supply shop. As a case in point, here's the MoreWine cork selection page: http://morewinemaking.com/search?search=corks&=Search

I'm not specifically endorsing MoreWine as a supplier, although I use them regularly and have never had a complaint with their service. I'm just using them to show that plain, undecorated corks are out there!

Speaking of contributions, for those of us not able to pitch in and be there to help shoulder the burden (literally), is there a mechanism by which we can donate some funds to help support the event. I think all of us want it to be a roaring success!

Wow, that is really cool of you!! Yeah, if anyone wishes to make become an Individual Sponsor for the Mazer Cup International, just send your contribution to info@mazercup.com, and put 'Sponsorship' in the info box for what it is for. We'll get your name up on the Sponsor page in thanks!

Dang, you guys are great ::sniff::

Vicky - off to call some more commercial meaderies to get them to hurry up and ship.....

I sent my entry bottles off today. After speaking with More Wine on the topic of competitions, I was sent plain T-corks for the 375 ml bottles. I expect they knew what I needed.
On a side note..Pete, I don't know how to get a hold of you other than here. I am more artist than mechanic if you know what I mean. Flag me down again or E-mail me at (email anonymized by Oskaar), and I'll say 'where and when'.

I don't think you want T-corks. Those are generally used for resealing bottles between pours. T-corks have a plastic cap on them that will make them rather unique. Morewine may have thought that you wanted them to use in the competition between rounds? I suspect what you want is something like MoreWine stock number W414B. Plain unprinted corks.

 

[Xixist]

That would be easy enough if they were not in the mail
