Gold honors will be awarded to wines that rise above a straightforward recommendation.

Platinum awards will be reserved for wines nominated for Best of Show in these categories: sparkling, rose, white, red and dessert.

All judges will participate in the tasting evaluation and vote for Best of Show and Wine of the Year.

Judges will taste all wines blind, but may ask for information about place of origin or grape varieties included in a blend. Producer, price and vintage will not be disclosed until the close of the competition.

The Director may, at his discretion, recognize outstanding performances by an individual winery or importer following tabulation of all results.
