International Eastern Wine Competition
About the Competition
Location: Watkins Glen, New York
Dates: May 21-23, 2008
Deadline: April 18, 2008
One of the oldest and largest competitions in the United States, this event is held each May in the Finger Lakes region of New York, topping over 2,100 entries in recent years with wines from 16 countries and 34 states. The IEWC has earned a well-justified reputation for the quality of its organization, judgments and awards. Wines in any given flight may be entered from around the world. Judges are wine-knowledgeable professionals, media specialists, and winemakers who represent major east coast markets from Miami to Toronto. Bronze medals require a unanimous panel vote for bronze, so any winning medals in the IEWC are worthy of merit.
