HONORARY CHAIR

Genevieve Janssens my business.” I concurred and the rest is history. I eventually opened my own enology lab in Provence.

How did you end up in California at the Mondavi Winery? I was traveling in the U.S. in 1978 to learn more about winemaking, because the talk in Europe was that California was an innovative area trying new winemaking ideas. There I met [Robert] Mondavi. He was a superstar. I soon began working in the lab at Mondavi as an enologist.

You have talked about Robert Mondavi’s holistic approach to winemaking. What do you mean by that? He was extremely respectful of nature,

his year’s honorary chair, Genevieve Janssens, is the Director of Winemaking at Napa Valley’s Robert Mondavi Winery, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year. Janssens believes that great wine begins with a respect for nature and people, a philosophy she learned from Robert Mondavi himself.

When did your family start making wine in France? My family is from Algeria with French heritage. We began making wine in Algeria in the 19th century. A er the Algerian war [1954–1962], my father continued his wine business in Corsica.

Did you always want to follow in his footsteps? My father talked about wine and vineyards at every lunch and dinner when I was growing up. I grew to share his interests and passions. Though I studied geology in college, I chose to make a career shi when my dad said, “You know, you should go to school in Bordeaux and get your enology diploma, then come back to help me with

W I N E F E S T I VA L C O M

people, and wine. When Mr. Mondavi was growing his grapes, he was seeing nature. Employees were expected to balance vineyard management with the forest around it, along with the river, the streams, and the insects. At the winery, he wanted both the employees and the wine to be treated with respect. He carried that same comprehensive vision into the kitchen, then to the table. It gave me a total understanding of why we make wine and how to do it well.

I know you love to cook. How do you go about pairing a wine with a new dish? When I’m cooking, I first determine what will underscore the meal: Will it be a light fish, a heavy sauce, or a meat dish? I associate that driving force with what I know about wine. A chardonnay could support more sauce, for example. You also can’t really go wrong with a pinot or cabernet. I interchange red and white with meat and fish, as long as they are harmonious. I consider a white and a red in accordance with each dish, and then ask my friends which they prefer.

What advice would you give to festivalgoers? Don’t be intimidated, and don’t listen to anybody. Taste, then decide whether you like it or not. You are learning about yourself, so come and explore! The Cincinnati International Wine Festival is the perfect place to try new wines and determine your unique, personal taste.

THE COMPETITION

W I N E F E S T I VA L C O M

very year, all participating wineries are offered the opportunity to submit their wines to be judged. This competition is the Olympics of the wine industry—enter your best wines in hopes of achieving recognition for outstanding quality in the form of Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals. Prior to the Grand Tastings, over 400 wines are swirled, sniffed, sipped, and evaluated by trained judges. These judges are wine educators, culinary professionals, restaurateurs, wine retailers, certified sommeliers, wine salespeople, and industry advocates. Our judges are commi ed to the integrity of the wine industry and Competition, and a end a training program prior to the Competition. Each wine is tasted using a modified blind format, which means that the type of grape and where it’s grown is revealed, but not the winery, wine name, or vintage. The judges use a 20-point grading scale to rate each wine on five major categories: Appearance, Aroma & Bouquet, Taste & Texture, Finish & A ertaste, and Overall Impression. The behind-the-scenes staff works diligently to ensure the wines are presented to the judges in the most professional manner. The Riedel glassware is washed and hand polished a er each use. If any judge deems that a wine has “off ” aromas, another bo le is opened without question. The scoring sheets are collected, tabulated, and double-checked by an independent third party. The results are returned to the Wine Festival, and the medals are awarded. The Wine Festival Competition is recognized nationally and is considered one of the premier wine events in the country. These rules are established to ensure absolute credible results, and the Wine Festival board and staff are commi ed to enforcing the rules to maintain the highest professional standards for the Competition.
