Without continual growth & progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning. - Benjamin Franklin
The NC Fine Wines Competition is recognized as the toughest wine competition in the country. All of our judges are at least Level 3 Advanced Sommeliers; judges taste blind; no discussion during judging; and judges notes & scores are shared with vineyards.
Why so serious? Because of our drive to improve requires us to constantly
raise the bar. As in life, it is only through constant feedback and struggle can we
enjoy success.

Most important 100% grown and vinified in North Carolina. No additivies except for neutral spirits for port. No flavor additives.:
About
Progress
North Carolina Fine Wines is more than a competition, it is a brand. Customers' palates are improving, and they know how wines should taste. That's why we have professional tasters judging. That's why in only our first year, the James Suckling group tasted the winning 2017 NC Fine Wines Case. And that's progress!
