The average of these 14 randomly selected bottles of local wine is $42.07.
We received 6 entries that were within one dollar, but we also received an additional three entries that all tied for the closest price. Three people guessed $42 and they were Soundmaker, jzpr_info, and Katie2468.
The edhat staff thought of very creative ways to determine how to break this tie: wine chugging contest, wine bottle jenga, who could name the most varietals of wine off the top of their head. But we decided it was safer to put the three names in an edhat hat and pull out one winner. So… congratulations to Soundmaker for guessing one of the closest amounts and for being the lucky one drawn!
Thanks to everyone who played!

It would have been helpful if you’d have told us that 90% of the wines were red. In general, red wine is more expensive than white.
