Professional Wine Awards
More than 1000 wines using Sonoma County Grapes are entered annually in Sonoma County Fair’s Professional Wine Competition. This competition is the largest regional wine competition in the nation. Judges -- 25 of them -- come from across the US, and from other countries to sit on a judging panel in three days of blind tastings. Their top selections will be announced in a new event titled "Sonoma County Wine awrds". Sweepstakes white, red and specialty wines will be revealed. This evening will serve as the "Academy Awards" of Sonoma county and will recognize Sonoma County's world-class wines and the people who make them. The event is limited to individuals in the wine industry.
