About Wine Competition Medals
From The California State Fair Competition

The Double Gold award is reserved for those wines judged superior to others in their class by receiving a unanimous vote for Gold award by a panel of judges.

Best of Class of Region Awards After all awards and numeric scores have been given, the computer will locate the highest scoring varietal from each of the regions. This high score will designate a wine for an individual award called the “Best of Class of Region” or in other words, this is the highest scoring varietal from this region or appellation. There could be a Best Chardonnay from Sierra Foothills, a Best Chardonnay from Napa, a Best Chardonnay from South Central Coast, etc. from each of the eleven regions.

Generally speaking, these categories will be determined based on the total amount of entries, usually a minimum of 15 to 20 wines that were entered. Each of the varietals listed below will be recognized in each of the 11 regions. All medal winning wines, regardless of their medal, are eligible for this special recognition, which includes an individual wine which may only be a Bronze or Silver — but it will be the highest awarded varietal within that region! 

Best of Region On the final tasting day, Judges will be divided into four panels of 10 to 12 judges each. They will taste all the Gold and Double Gold wines. The judges will choose two wines —Best of Region White Wine and Best of Region Red Wine. Judges will not know which region they are judging. These awards will represent the best example of a varietal (class) type from each of the eleven regions. The overall winning red and white wines will have the most votes and become eligible to represent its region for the Best of Show.
