Mahogany Mountain Syrah and Merlot Medalists at Finger Lakes International Wine Competition

More good news from the 2011 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition for Mahogany Mountain Vineyard and Winery!  We entered two wines and both have won medals in the same competition! In addition to the Gold medal that our Mahogany Mountain 2007 Syrah has won at the 2011 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, we've found out in the mail that our Mahogany Mountain 2008 Merlot also won a Bronze medal.  The actual medals were shipped to our winery last Thursday April 21, before Good Friday! 

The Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, in its eleventh year, 64 judges, all with national and international credentials, from multiple markets in North America, Canada, South America, Australia and England, Germany, Israel, and France judged 3279 wines. In perhaps their tightest competition ever, entries arrived from 18 countries, 50 states, and 4 provinces in Canada.

We are very grateful for the medals which help bolster our morale and confidence in our wine making skills.

Cheers!
