2025 The Great White Wine Competition!

Best-in-Show awarded to 2023 Chardonnay from Rayson Winery and Vineyards!

The judging panel consisted of American Wine Society Certified Judges and high level WSET Certified Judges who brought years of competition judging and wine industry experience. Entries were received from West Coast to East Coast, from California to North Carolina.

Each entry was evaluated blind by a panel of eight judges in a single pour non-flighted round-table format. Each wine was poured in a clean crystal glass, presented to the judges individually and scored on a 100 point scale. We do not drop low scores therefore the final score is a true average of the eight judges.
