The judging panel for the 2014 NZ EVOO Awards has been finalised and once again includes both international and New Zealand judges. The original Sensory Panel members are being rotated through the judging panel to make use of their valued expertise, and at least one international and one local judge will return for some continuity, with variation then occurring in the other judges. To ensure equity in evaluations, all judges will participate in calibration training on the first morning prior to the commencement of judging. Further details on the awards will be announced later, however the date for the presentation dinner, to be held in Wellington, has been confirmed as Saturday, 4 October. We’ll bring you more information in future editions of FOE.
