Finger Lakes Awards Ledgewood Wines

The 13th Annual Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, held March 23-24, 2013 in Rochester, NY recently announced the results, and Ledgewood Creek wines were among the medal winners!

At this competition, each wine is judged on its own merit - its presence, balance, and varietal character - NOT how it compares to other wines in the flight.

Over 3500 wines from 20 cuntries and all 50 US states were entered.

The Results:

SILVER

2010 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

2011 Three Clone Chardonnay, Estate Grown

BRONZE

2010 Reserve Chardonnay, Estate Grown

Introducing ... Testimony!

New Vintage,  New Label

Elegant, stylish, sophisticated, refined . . . all these words can be used to describe the new label on the outside as well as the wine inside the bottle.

The old GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre) has been renamed Testimony, and a new label created to reflect the character of this delightful wine.

This wine pairs wonderfully with food, and is quite enjoyable on it's own.  The GSM label has won several Gold medals in regional, national, and world-wide competitions for successive vintages; the 2011 promises more of the same! 

More Gold!

The 2012 San Francisco International Wine Competition was conducted June 15^th through June 17^th at the Hotel Nikko in downtown San Francisco, and the results are in! More than 4,500 wines were judged this year—the largest Competition in our 32-year history.

Ledgewood Creek Winery winners:

2009 GSM - GOLD

2010 Three Clone Chardonnay - SILVER

2009 GSM is a Winner, again!

Produced by Vineyard & Winery Management, NextGen is one of the fastest growing and most exciting wine competitions in North America today. 

“Millennials are today’s wine consumers, not tomorrow’s potential customers. They are taking the nation by storm in determining new ways to communicate, interact, and determine their own distinctive taste and style,” says Giovanni “Gio” Balistreri, Chief Judge. “Through social media, clubs, consumer tastings, and other social outlets, millennials are making their opinions known.”

And their opinion is that Ledgewood Creek's 2009 GSM is worthy of a Gold Medal, and the Three Clone Chardonnay earned a Silver Medal.  The varietal blends of Ledgewood Creek once again come out ahead of much of the competition!

Stop by the tasting room and see why these wines are winning medals in every competition they enter!  The tasting room is open 7 days a week, 10am to 5 pm.

Three Clone wins another GOLD!

Ledgewood's popular and award-winning Three Clone Chardonnay has won another Gold medal.  This one was awarded by the North of the Gate Competition, featuring wines from Northern California. Our Three Clone Chardonnay has won medals at local, national, and international competitions, and is a perfect summertime wine for sipping alone, or with a meal! 

Winners from the competition will be poured in the Wine garden throughout the Sonoma-Marin Fair, June 20-24, 2012.  More information on the competiton and the fair at the Sonoma-Marin Fair website.
