Due to the holiday next week, we have arranged for an extension to submit wine for Sip Magazine’s 10th Annual Best of the NW competition. They’d love to see a great showing from Oregon and are accepting submissions through Friday September 10, 2021.
The winners will be featured in the pages of the annual “Best of the Northwest” print issue. New this year, this issue will be distributed and replenished around the Northwest for 1 full year, Nov 2021-Nov 2022. In addition they will once again host a virtual awards ceremony where they will announce the top winners in each category with a complete list of winners to follow in the magazine.
More info: 
Out in November, this annual print collector’s issue will feature the top picks for wine, beer, spirits, cider and seltzer the region has to offer. The top four winning submissions of each category will be awarded medals. The issue will also cover industry leaders, trends and products.
The beverages will be tasted blind, with a panel comprised of the Northwest’s top palates, judges and professionals, whose verdict we will relay onto the pages of the issue. The goal is to provide readers with unique and original content pertaining to the best of Northwest beverages and create an overall greater consumer awareness and appreciation of our area’s liquid assets.
