Scott & Bob Fraser, Directors SFCWC

2013 has arrived, and what better way to kick off the new year than with the annual San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, the largest competition of American Wines in the World. We were very excited to have wineries from all over the country participate and we were delighted at the caliber of the judging this year. It continued to be more and more competitive with increasing number of wines being entered. Over 60 experts will meticulously evaluated each of the more than 5,500 entries to select winners from a variety of categories. We’re proud to announce BevMo! as the Presenting Sponsor for the 2013 competition. Wine & Spirits Magazine, KGO-AM 810 and NBC-TV will also return as our media sponsors. The Larose Group, our public relations partner, will increase wine award publicity through print, radio, websites, blogs, and social networking sites throughout the country.

We believe that the competition is an excellent venue for wineries to showcase their best. Each winery and entry had an opportunity to win, and receive a gold medal signifies that they are within the top 10% of quality wines in the country.

On February 16th, our judges and award-winning wineries bring their passion and knowledge to the general pubic at the annual Public Tasting at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. The competition and public tasting are both outstanding events where everyone can not only educate themselves, but also celebrate award-winning wines from the largest competition of American Wines in the World.
