2020 East Meets West Coast Wine Competition: Double Gold and Best of Class for 2018 Miro Cellars Cuvée Sasha
The West Coast took top honors for Best Red, Best Dessert, Best Rosé and Best of Show at this year’s East Meets West Wine Competition. This is a joint competition that pits the best of the East Coast against the best of the West. This year, over 950 wines from both coasts competed for Best of Class honors in many categories.
Debra Del Fiorentino, Founder and President of Wine Competitions Management & Production, was pleased with this year’s competition. Said Del Fiorentino, “I was particularly impressed with the high scores for the Best of Class winning wines, plus there were many more Double Golds than in the past, reflecting the overall quality of the entries. We can celebrate the brilliant winemaking exhibited from coast to coast in this unique competition, and especially from the Midwest, which showed really well this year. Our country may be divided, but we can sure unite over one important thing common to nearly every state in our union: great wine!”
Winners will be listed on winecompetitions.com. An overview article will also appear online at www.spiritedbiz.com. They will also be featured in a future issue of award-winning Spirited magazine, a nationally distributed adult beverage trade publication.
