News from Scout supporter JoieFarm

Naramata, BC | JoieFarm is proud to announce that our 2008 Riesling and 2008 A Noble Blend have finished 1st and 2nd overall in the 10th Annual Wine Press Northwest Platinum Judging. Both wines were designated Double Platinum, while the 2008 Riesling was also awarded the title “Best of the Best”, only the second white wine in the history of the competition to do so.

Wine Press Northwest, independently published out of  Walla Walla, Washington, annually invites wineries from Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and Idaho to enter wines that have won gold medals in a recognized national or international competition. These wines are then tasted again and awarded accordingly by their distinguished panel of judges. To win a Platinum, three out of four judges must agree to its greatness. If all four judges deem the wine a Platinum, then it is designated Double Platinum.  This year there were a record 450 wines entered with only 12 wines receiving the coveted designation of Double Platinum.
