American Fine Wine Competition Comes To Boca Raton

Something called the American Fine Wine Competition is going on this week at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. This is its first year, and according to this article (scroll down), it's the first juried American wine competition in South Florida. Which sounds like a big deal, except we really don't know much more about it. Perhaps, when the results are announced, it'll get more coverage?

Unfortunately for you, the public, the judging, which we assume is happening today through Thursday, is open only to a select few — namely, the judges. They'll get to taste 350 wines throughout the course of the week; each wine will be judged against other wines of the same varietal.

But there is good news for you: the public is invited to the gala dinner on Thursday, October 25 at 6 p.m. at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. The four-course dinner with wine pairings will set you back just $250 per person or $2,500 per table (which isn't really a deal, as there are 10 to a table). There will also be a silent auction for charity, live entertainment, and a tasting, with wines poured by "wine angels." Here's our question: do wine angels have to wear wings and a halo?
