"As proprietor of the Jimmy Watson Wine Bar in Lygon Street, Jimmy would take clients to the Melbourne Showgrounds for tastings at the Wine Show and then sell them bottles – Gold, Silver, Bronze – to enhance their cellars. Jimmy would go and select young wines and ask the vignerons to hold the wine in casks for six months to age, then after that, send the wines in hogsheads to him to bottle, he would then recommend these to his clients to purchase and cellar themselves. Therefore the obvious category for any Jimmy Watson Memorial trophy was the wine of the previous vintage of judging, approximately 18 months old … red of course!" -Allan Watson
