Rex Johnston Winemaker of the Year Award – Selection Criteria

Sacramento Home Winemakers – Winemaker of the Year Selection Criteria

The Rex Johnston Home Winemaker of the Year award is to encourage excellence in wine-making among all Club members.  The best measure of excellence is the opinion of qualified judges in a structured competition environment.  Rex was an SHW member until his passing in December 2022 and often swept a home wine competition’s top awards. A home winemaker for several decades, Rex generously shared his winemaking and competition expertise encouraging us all to be the best winemakers.
