This year’s Harvest Challenge was once again a rousing success with more than 1,025 entries received from Canada, New York, Argentina, Australia and all parts in between. Our participating judges were truly some of the very best from across the US and Canada. They awarded 54 Best of Class, 37 Double Gold and 145 Gold medals with 23 “Best of” AVAs. We are pleased to announce the official results in time for you to promote which of your award-winners to purchase during the holidays. Top wines received Best of Class by Category, Best AVA, and ultimately the Best of Show. Please see your standings listed below.
