New Zealand’s Scapegrace Distilling Co. is celebrating another international win, with the World Whiskey Awards held overnight in London.
2023 was a record year for the number of wines I tasted, evaluated, and judged. These included Panel Chair for the New Zealand entries at the Decanter World Wine Awards, Chair for the Canberra International Riesling Challenge, Selector for the Hawkes Bay Chardonnay Challenge, various local wine shows around New Zealand, various online and print publications including Decanter and MiNDFOOD, multiple wine tasting events around Aotearoa New Zealand, and my own website review business site at CamDouglasMS.com, many hundreds of wines have touched my palate.
