At the annual competition, 30 wine experts conduct a blind evaluation of nearly 2,000 wines.  This event has been setting standards for judging of fine wines since 1985.
Augusta Wine Company received six awards total between wines submitted from Augusta Winery and Montelle Winery, the most prestigious of these being Best of Class and Gold for the Augusta Wineryâs 2013 Norton.
