Winehaven Awarded 5 Medals at the San Francisco International Wine Competition
There is no wine competition that excites us more than San Francisco. It’s like sending our wines into the lion’s den. The competition is fierce! All the ‘big guys’ enter wines in San Francisco. The judges come from all corners of the wine world. This year, five of our wines emerged from the competition with medals! Our Stinger Mead was declared the best mead in the competition with a gold medal (again). Our Nokomis, Deer Garden Red and Merlot won silver medals. Our Nicollet won a bronze medal! We’re so proud of all of our awards and delighted that our Minnesota wines have been recognized as some of the best in the world!
