Woodinville Wine Country Members Win Big at Seattle Wine Awards

0 Comments/ in Articles, News, Uncategorized / by Woodinville Wine Country
May 23, 2013

Congratulations to the Woodinville Wine Country member wineries who garnered awards at this year’s Seattle Wine Awards. Woodinville Wine Country member wineries earned a total of 194 awards – 69 of them DOUBLE GOLD! Woodinville Wine Country is a unique wine touring region featuring wineries that range in size and production from the state’s largest winery to the smallest boutique style tasting room. One thing these wineries do have in common is high quality wine and the Seattle Wine Awards is evidence of that very fact. Woodinville Wine Country features winery tasting rooms from most regions around state and its proximity to the metropolitan Seattle area population is unmatched nationally.

Seattle Wine Awards Executive Director Christopher Chan says, “Each year is special in terms of the wines that receive recognition. We expect the established wineries to receive top honors because the ‘big’ wineries have more resources. They often make consistently high-quality wines, at every price point. For instance, the entry-level wines from Silver Lake Winery scored Gold medals. I am also delighted to showcase the new wineries that earn awards. Many of these are family ventures – farmers and orchardists – who are forging their mark in the world of wine. So, now that smaller wineries have the taste of Double Gold award they are encouraged to continue on, making great wine vintage after vintage. I am pleased to recognize a few of the wineries that impressed the panel this year: Alexandria Nicole Cellars of Horse Heaven Hills, Lake Chelan Winery, Obelisco of Red Mountain and Patterson Cellars. For a listing of all the 2013 awards click here.

You can taste  many of the Double Gold Award winners at the Seattle Wine Awards Grand Tasting on Sunday, July 21 at the Rainier Club in downtown Seattle. For more information on the tasting visit SeattleWineAwards.com.

Woodinville is a truly unique wine touring destination as its tasting rooms and wineries (more than 90) represent wine regions from all over Washington State. No where else will you be able to taste wines from Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley, Walla Walla, Red Mountain and beyond. Woodinville is also home to the state’s largest winery and the country’s largest wine company.

Overall Washington State wines garner more highly rated wines percentage wise than California wines do.  This area is flush with 90+ wines. Scores have been the hot topic in recent weeks with esteemed wine writers on both the local and national level tackling the subject. See what a few have to say here:
