Calaveras County Wineries Strike GOLD in California Wine Competitions!
Murphys, CA...15 Calaveras County Wineries entered the "40th Annual Sierra Foothills Wine Show" that took place on Friday, June 25th at the Calaveras County Fairgrounds. This year, 18 esteemed judges thoughtfully evaluated 211 wines in the day-long event. Many of our family-run wineries also participated in the Orange County Fair Competition earlier this month. See the complete list of winners HERE and enjoy these award-winning wines this summer!
Kirsten Locke, Director of Operations, Locke Vineyards, remarks, “Locke Rosé has become a popular wine in our line up at The Barn and we are thrilled to hear the results from the Sierra Foothills Wine Show. The 2020 release showcases a field blend of two different varietals from both of our Calaveras vineyards. Thank you for the recognition and loving Locke Rosé!”
Ron Pieretti, Founder and Managing Partner, Prospect 772 Wines shares, "Once again we are very fortunate to receive this recognition. As our vineyard matures, it is becoming more and more expressive and that expression is showing up in the wines. The Sierra Foothills AVA in my opinion is still underrated. There are many remarkable vineyard sites in our wine region and we are just some of the lucky ones who get to Live, Work and Play here.”
