A panel of wine, culinary and camping experts will narrow down all applicants to the top five regional finalists and also select the grand prizewinner during the Campfire Classic. The judges are:
Host of Glutton for Punishment and Surreal Gourmet
Cookbook author, artist and professional bon vivant Bob Blumer is perhaps best known as the host of the Food Network’s Surreal Gourmet. This April, you will see him hosting Fine Living’s Glutton for Punishment, a show that leads him in physically daunting food and wine quests. Blumer’s contagious enthusiasm helps transform everyday meals into dining adventures.
Cal Dennison
Redwood Creek Winemaker
Redwood Creek’s winemaker is an avid outdoorsman and accomplished campsite cook in his own right! "I’ve been preparing fresh-caught fish over a campfire in the Sierra Mountains for as long as I can remember," Dennison says. "After a long hike or strenuous day rafting, I find nothing’s better than opening a stream-chilled bottle of my favorite wine."
