The World Value Wine Challenge (“WVWC”); which took place in August 2010 and was put on by the Beverage Testing Institute, is recognized as the nation’s most comprehensive competition for wines priced $20 and under. Adirondack Winery President, Sasha Pardy said, “Adirondack Winery is pleased to provide its customers not only with great wines, but good value, as the majority of its 35+ wine types are priced under $20.00.”
With price and value a top priority for consumers in this economy, this year’s competition was steep for wineries. Adirondack Winery’s wines were judged alongside thousands of other wines from across the Globe.
The WVWC judges awarded Silver Medals to Adirondack Winery’s Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Red Coat Reserve Merlot, Gewurztraminer and Vibrant Viognier, giving the wines “Highly Recommended” status. The judges also named the Gewurztraminer a “Best Buy” for being a wine offering “uncommon value” in its category. Adirondack Winery’s Blushing Trees White Zinfandel was awarded a Bronze Medal, for being “Recommended” by the judges.
With this win, Adirondack Winery’s Pinot Noir and Red Coat Reserve Merlot now hold two Silver Medals each. The Pinot Noir won a Silver at the 2009 International Eastern Wine Competition and its Red Coat won a Silver at the 2010 INDY International Wine Competition. Adirondack Winery started entering wine competitions in early 2009 and with these latest awards, 17 of its wines have earned 25 medals in total.
