Awards

North Carolina Wine Competition 7 awards

North Carolina’s state wine competition, run by the NC Wine & Grape Council and judged blind. It awards Double Gold, Gold, Silver and Bronze across vinifera/hybrid, muscadine and fruit/cider/mead categories — muscadine being judged on its own terms is unusual and matters here.
