For over 150 years, the California State Fair has recognized the best wines of the state and the dedication of wineries and vintners in the Golden State’s viticulture and enology industry. The winners were determined by seventy-two judges on 18 panels who come from a wide range of backgrounds, from wine educators, wine makers, wine journalists, retailers and wholesalers to wine collectors and those from the restaurant trade. This year 48 Double Gold, 207 Gold, 915 Silver and 618 Bronze were awarded.
