What sets the Grand Harvest Awards apart from the rest? Terroir! Established in 1990, the Grand Harvest Awards is the only wine-judging event in North America based on terroir- "a group of vineyards (or even vines) from the same region, belonging to a specific appellation, and sharing the same type of soil, weather conditions, grapes and winemaking style, which contribute to give its specific personality to the wine." Judges tasted wines with other wines of the same appellation, and judged them based on the context of their viticultural region, thus removing cross-region competition. Twenty-three judges evaluated over 1,500 entries.
