San Francisco Chronicle Winners!
The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition (SFCWC) is the largest competition of American wines in the World. In January of 2025, a panel of fifty-two professional judges evaluated in blind tastings 5,500 entries from across North America and Canada, representing over 1100 wineries.
We are thrilled to announce that our 2023 Pinot Grigio was awarded the highly coveted Best in Class distinction in blind tastings. Even more impressive, Verterra’s 2022 Pinot Grigio also won Best in Class last year, marking the first time in the history of this competition a winery has won back-to-back Best in Class awards for a single varietal.
The following wines earned this distinguished recognition: 2023 Pinot Blanc (the 2022 vintage won Double Gold as well), Double Gold 2023 Riesling Dry and Double Gold 2021 Brut Sparkler Traditional Method. Every wine submitted medaled. Over the last 2 years of competitions we have demonstrated consistent, high quality.
