Awards organizers are seeking to expand Oregon representation for 2017 Awards
The organizers of the TEXSOM International Wine Awards have let OWB know that they are hoping to see an increase in Oregon wine participation and diversity in the 2017 Awards to help fulfill their mission of offering wine professionals and consumers in the U.S. a look at what is happening in the world of wine.
The TEXSOM International Wine Awards is unique among American competitions due to its international slate of judges, the diversity of wines from both the U.S. and worldwide, and the number of older vintages and verticals that are entered. This ensures that not only do the wines get judged in a fair manner, but also that they are exposed to importers and distributors wishing to complete their portfolios.
