ReplyDeleteThe semi finalists are being interviewed this week and are rallying their friends to post on our Facebook page. Based on the results of the interviews and what kind of support they generate, three finalists will be chosen to come to the winery in January and participate (by live blogging) in our Chef Cook Off.
