Our Wine Awards!

Nwiwclogo I teased you last post with a bit of late breaking news from the New World International Wine Competition.  I want to get you the exciting details before Terry and I get out of town for a bit of relaxation and celebration.

The New World International Wine Competition is the fourth largest wine competition in the world.  It includes wines from almost all of Western Europe, Australia, South Africa, all of the United States (including the great winers of California), Chile, and many others (except France and Italy for some reason).  The competition is fierce and the wines are always outstanding.

Our BlackBerry/Cabernet Franc won a Silver Medal.  Our Cherry/Apple won a Bronze Medal as did our Raspberry wine.  These results would be exciting enough if it weren't for one more wine receiving some outstanding honors at this prestigious competition.

Not only did Mountain Spirit Winery's Angel Blush win a Gold Medal, it also was named Best of Varietal and, most importantly, Best of Class!  In case you didn't know, when a wine wins Best of Class in a competition of this size competing against world class wineries, that wine can safely be considered one of the best wines...in the world!

We're all so excited about this.  Terry and I have always felt that our Angel Blush was a superb wine.  So many of our loyal customers repeatedly confirm this with their kind words and repeat orders.  It's just so nice to get this sort of confirmation from a wine competition of this caliber.

We've got a special deal coming your way to celebrate these amazing results.  I'll give you more details when we get back from our little celebratory vacation.

Until then, we'd love to hear from you!  Leave us a comment and we'll be sure to get back to you soon.

And keep enjoying those wines!

Mike B.

    Most of these photos were shot on a beautiful Colorado evening with the sun setting behind us. If you've never been to the winery, these shots really give you a good idea of what it looks like on the grounds and behind the scenes of Mountain Spirit Winery.
