    2017 Wine Awards ©2017 by The Orange County Wine Society ocws.org 714.708.1636 Page 1 of 173 Purpose This booklet lists the winners of the 41st Annual OC Fair & Event Center Commercial Wine Competition. The judging took place under rigidly controlled conditions on June 3rd & June 4th, 2017, at the Hilton Hotel, Costa Mesa, California. 2,457 different wines were judged and 1,726 were awarded medals. Scope The competition includes only wines from California grown grapes including still wines, fortified wines, infused wines, and sparkling wines. This year 80 judges tasted 104 varieties and styles in 405 categories classified by price and residual sugar level. The wine samples for judging are submitted by wineries. Wines arrive at the OC Fair & Event Center grounds where they are transferred to an air-conditioned building for unpacking and cataloging. There are no entry fees; however, wineries submit 6 bottles of each wine into the competition. These wines are divided into A, B, C, D, E and F bottles. All entries are verified, comparing the entry form to computer listing to the actual bottle placed in a specific box. The A bottles are bagged and labeled by code, varietal, bottle, price code and sugar level. During the competition, the A and B bottles are moved to the competition site. Just prior to judging all A bottles are verified to ensure they are in the proper serving order. B bottles are used only if a defective A bottle is found by the judges. The judging is performed by professionals; each judge is either a winemaker or winery principal.

  • Types of Wine COMMON WINE TYPES
    Types of wine What’s on the label Wine “varietals” simply means wine made from a specific grape. Varietal wines in the United States are often named after the dominant grapes used in making the wine. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Chenin Blanc are examples of grape varieties. When a wine bottle shows a varietal designation on the label (like Merlot) it means that the wine in the bottle is at least 75% that grape variety (at least 75% Merlot, for example). Showing a varietal on the label tells the consumer what to expect from the flavor of the wine. That’s why learning about basic varietals in important. Wines are not required to carry varietal designations and cannot legally do so if the wine is a blend where no varietal is dominant (more than 75%). This is often the case. Then labels (in the U.S.) will often show the percentages of grapes used to make the blend. Other more generic names are used to identify wine without any information on the type of grape used or where it was grown. Examples are Red Wine, White Wine, Table Wine, Blush Wine, etc.. COMMON WINE TYPES Albariño Spanish white wine grape that makes crisp, refreshing, and light-bodied wines. Aligoté White wine grape grown in Burgundy making medium-bodied, crisp, dry wines with spicy character. Amarone From Italy’s Veneto Region a strong, dry, long- lived red, made from a blend of partially dried red grapes. Arneis A light-bodied dry wine the Piedmont Region of Italy Asti Spumante From the Piedmont Region of Italy, A semidry sparkling wine produced from the Moscato di Canelli grape in the village of Asti Auslese German white wine from grapes that are very ripe and thus high in sugar Banylus A French wine made from late-harvest Grenache grapes and served with chocolate or dishes with a hint of sweetness.
