Categories


IMPORTANT: All wines will be tasted initially by geographical region and price category. Wines awarded Platinum will advance to the championship rounds of tasting to determine Best of Class, Best of Show and Wine of the Year. Wines from California will be broken out and tasted according to appellation as entries warrant. The Director reserves the right to create new categories as entries dictate. If your geographical region is not represented in this listing, leave the category field blank on the entry form and the Director will assign the wine to the proper category, or create a category for that wine.
