The International Eastern Wine Competition, started in 1975, is one of the oldest and longest-running wine competitions in the nation. We have combined this competition with the West Coast Wine Competition to see exactly where East Meets West.

 

Wines will simultaneously be judged in two divisions: International Eastern Wine Competition and the West Coast Wine Competition. Traditional awards will be given in each division.

 

Best of Show winners will move on to compete in the East Meets West Taste Off to see which wine reigns overall. This affords your wine two chances to win!

 

And the Riesling Championship continues. Rieslings will be judged in both competitions to award a best Eastern Riesling and a best Western Riesling.

 

The challenge is on!  It’s time to see where East Meets West.
