About the Competition
The New York International Wine Competition, which recognizes the finest quality wines, took place remotely this year with over 1,400 wines submitted from 24 countries. The judges included restaurateurs, sommeliers, retail wine buyers, distributors and importers. Judging panels provided an ensemble of different disciplines so that multiple viewpoints were considered in the evaluation of the wines.
The American Wine Society is the largest consumer based wine organization in the United States. It has conducted this prestigious wine competition annually for over 40 years. Judges include both AWS-trained and certified judges and professional experts from across the wine industry.
“Chosen to be 2020 New Jersey Winery of the Year and winning so many medals has been a great way to celebrate our 10th anniversary,” said Wolin. “These honors are a result of the hard work of our dedicated wine making team,” he continued. “We are proud to be making world-class wines in New Jersey and providing socially distant tastings and entertainment during this difficult time.”
Situated on 28 lush, preserved, farmland acres in Ringoes, New Jersey, the winery offers majestic vineyard and mountain views. Guests enjoy covered and outside seating areas, daily wine tasting experiences, and small group events, including virtual wine tasting parties and events.
