“This year’s Pacific Rim International Wine Competition showcased an impressive array of beautiful, high quality wines from the United States, Australia and France,” says Nicole Varner Orue, competition director, in a press release. “The number of interested wineries has increased each year, and continues to highlight the best of North American and Pacific Rim wine producers. We would like to congratulate all the winners on their awards and are grateful for another successful year of championing great wines.”
