Just in time for the holidays, we are excited to share the winners of our 13th Annual Best of the Northwest Wine Awards! Get your shopping list – we have something for everyone and every occasion. Whether you are looking for a special gift for a host, a holiday party or the perfect addition to your dinner table this season and beyond, these expertly evaluated wines range widely in price, from just $15 to $100. 

An open call for submissions was put out to wineries of all sizes across the Pacific Northwest with 600 wines sent in this year. All wines were blind tasted and meticulously evaluated by a distinguished panel of wine professionals. 

In addition to the top four medalists Platinum, Double Gold, Gold and Silver, for the larger categories we include Judges’ Picks which are the judging panel’s next highest-ranking wines after the four medalists.
