*****FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*****
Twin Brook Winery, Gap, PA, has been awarded two medals in a California Wine Competition and three in the PA Farm Show Competition.
Twin Brook Winery’s Esperanza and Pinot Gris received Bronze Medals at the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition earlier this month, one of only two Pennsylvania wineries, along with only a small percentage of East Coast wineries to receive awards in the competition that set a new American wine competition record with an astounding 5,500 entries.
For nine consecutive years, this prestigious competition holds strong as the “Largest Competition of American Wines in the World.” “This new record serves as an affirmation that every year wine consumers look toward the SFCWC award medal winning wines as a barometer when purchasing their wines," said Bob Fraser, SFCWC Executive Director. "We are thrilled that wineries all over the United States understand and respect the outstanding caliber of our 65 judges from throughout the wine industry and the country." Held at the Cloverdale Citrus Fairgrounds in Sonoma County, CA, the 65 professional wine experts within the media, restaurant and hospitality, education, winemaking and retail wine industries tasted and evaluated the world-record breaking 5,500 entries. Results were announced online at www.sfgate.com and www.winejudging.com on Friday afternoon, January 6, 2012.
