Consumers from around California spent Saturday afternoon at
Hutchins Street Square sampling wines from around the world and
giving their frank assessment of what they tasted.
The Consumer Wine Awards at Lodi enables those who would
purchase wines in a restaurant or grocery store to vote on it, said
G.M. "Pooch" Pucilowski, head of judging and wine submissions for
the event. Vintners are always looking to understand a consumer's
taste preferences, and Saturday's event helps consumers and
winemakers engage each other.
