The approximately 90 wines receiving the most votes in the varietal categories qualified as finalists for a blind tasting held on March 18. That tasting was conducted by a panel of three industry professionals (Paul Zitarelli of Full Pull Wines, Mark Takagi of Metropolitan Market and Chris Horn of Heavy Restaurant Group) who evaluated the wines on the basis of appeal in regard to sight, smell and taste in order to come to a consensus on the winners within each category. Winners in each varietal category were eligible to win Wine of the Year. Wine of the Year winners in red, white and rosé wine categories were selected by panel consensus during a second tasting of the winners in each category. Information in the tasting notes was taken from the tasters’ descriptions of the wines.
