The greatest competition in the history of UK wine tasting returns for its second year...
In 2013, our search for the UK's finest amateur wine taster returned with more wines, more fun times and, at around 10,000, double the number of entrants.
It was the sassy and likeable Chloe Dickson who styled her way through to the Semi Final and the Final, giving a unique presentation that left the judges gobsmacked. Chloe jetted off on holiday (though she called it her delayed honeymoon) to Australia and New Zealand for the wine tasting holiday of a lifetime with Robert Oatley and Giesen Wines.
Results So Far...
The Palate 2013 kicked off in spectacular style at the beginning of June, with 8,136 contestants turning out for our first blind tasting (that’s over 3,000 more than last year), and you guys were on dazzling form. Read more
