It is that time once again, time to announce the results of this month’s Monthly Wine Writing Challenge. In all this month, there were 12 eligible entries for the theme “Second Chance” which was supplied by last month’s winner, Jill of L’Occasion Wines.

There was slight drop off from the recent upward trend in the number of entries this month (myself included) and there was only one newcomer to the Challenge (Wine Musings). The voting was neither fast nor furious, but it was close. Really close. In fact, when I went to bed Monday night, the outcome was still very much in the air.

So without any further ado…

Nobody.

At least for now.

For the first time in the history of the Challenge, we have a tie. And not just any old tie, a three-way tie! So instead of selecting the winner by some less than democratic way, I decided the best option would be another vote with the three blogs in question.

Thus, I have created another poll with just these three choices:

JVB Uncorked: Why Wines Deserve a Second Chance

Traveling Wine Chick: Second Chances at Ehlers Estate

(Un)Common Grape: Second Chance

The Poll can be accessed HERE and you can vote through Friday night (I will announce the winner on Saturday (1/30). I am not sure what I will do if there is yet another tie, but I will cross that bridge when needed.
