Winning an award in WCWC affords you both a unique selling proposition in your retail room and adds talking points in your retail room. Remember, only wines from the above noted regions are able to enter. A win here shows how your wine really stacks up against others produced in the same areas.
In 2008, we had a field of over 1,700 entries. Our judges awarded a total of 16 Double Gold, 179 Gold, 600 Silver, and 506 Bronze medals. We expect 2009 to be a banner year.
We are pleased to welcome Sonoma Mountain Village as an official event sponsor in 2009!
