Held at the National Orange Show Event Center in Southern California, this two-day blind tasting is held in June with awards of Bronze, Silver, Gold, Best of Class, Best of Show and Grand Champion.

Our judges include winemakers, educators, restaurateurs, sales professionals, and journalists. We attempt to balance our judging panels with a representative of each discipline while having a member from most wine growing regions as well.

All bonded wineries, importers, licensed negociants and custom crush growers that make their wines commercially are welcome to compete. All countries are included.

The results are published within two days of the conclusion with the medals distributed within two weeks.
