UNCORKED is a local wine competition consisting of wines made from grapes grown only in Livermore Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA). Local wineries are invited to submit their wines based on the criteria. There are two rounds of judging and 12 wine categories. The first consists of a cohort of experienced local winemakers who blind taste/screen the submitted wines over a 3 day consecutive period. The selected wine then move forward to the medal round where professional judges of various wine industry backgrounds blind taste and decide the awards given to each wine. These medal winning wines are held secret until the UNCORKED Celebration on April 16th where they are revealed, along with Best in Class, Best Red, White, Rose, and Best in Show. You will have the opportunity to bid on a Best in Class case of wine of this year’s winners as well as a wine experience for 8 with the Best in Show winning winemaker! Our MC this year will be Tim Sbranti while Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty will announce the awards. See you there!
