Celebrate with us as Potomac Point Winery & Vineyard achieves resounding success at the 2023 Great American International Wine Competition, securing an impressive collection of six award-winning wines! At this esteemed annual event, vintners from around the globe present their finest creations, vying for recognition and acclaim. Held on May 6th and 7th, the 2023 competition featured an illustrious panel of 18 international judges, including Master Winemakers, sommeliers, oenologists, wine consultants, and certified wine judges, making it the most prestigious gathering of its kind in North America.
The Great American International Wine Competition prides itself on impartiality, evaluating wines blindly by assigning each a mere number, ensuring no bias toward the producer or region. The judges, though aware of the classification before each tasting, meticulously assess each wine solely on its merit, presence, balance, and character.
