Veedercrest has been making award winning wines since its founding in 1972. It was one of the participants at the infamous Judgement of Paris. It has won significant awards at most of the major wine judgings around the world. President Jimmy Carter and his White House dinner guests and Pope John Paul II during visits to America enjoyed Veedercest wines.
The Napa Valley Vintners annually sponsors the very prestigious Napa Valley Auction, the largest fundraising event annually for the wine industry nationally. This year the Napa Valley Auction raised over $18,000,000 for charitable benefits.
The now infamous “Judgment of Paris” was a wine competition held in Paris on May 24, 1976, organized by British Wine merchant Steven Spurrier. Mr. Spurrier personally chose all the California wines, including Veedercrest, for judging by a panel of noted French judges (including Sommeliers and or owners of Michelin three star Parisian restaurants, Directors of three of France’s most prestigious wine institutes, and French wine writers).
Results of the 2014 American Fine Wine Competition (AWFC) were announced Friday, January 31, 2014 at a reception hosted by The Preiser Key at Cole’s Chophouse, Napa, California, and concurrently by simulcast by AFWC President and Co Founder Shari Gherman at the Florida International University School of Hospitality, Miami.
