"All of us at Wine Access would like to congratulate you on your success at the 2007 International Value Wine Awards. Winning wines truly distinguished themselves as this year's competition that featured just under 1000 wines entered from 271 wineries and 14 countries.
Each wine was blind tasted, some up to four separate times by our group of 27 judges, representing 6 Canadian provinces and both national and international media. This carefully devised and executed system, employed by Wine Access at all of our wine awards competitions, produces results that lead Canada by being as objective and concise as possible."
** Price ranges: Wine Access used the lowest price they could find in the Canadian market. Prices vary by province primarily due to different Liquor Board mark up structures and differences in freight costs from the winery to your province. |
