Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle Panels Select
Best West Coast Wines for Oysters

April, 2006.  After four tiers of judging the 154 wines entered in the 2006 Pacific Coast Oyster Wine Competition, Dry Creek Vineyard's Dry Chenin Blanc (2005) is again one of the 10 wines selected for the 2006 "Oyster Award." Our Dry Chenin Blanc has won this award 7 out of 12 times, and  currently  five years in a row.

Judgings of 20 finalist wines were held April 25 at the Water Grill in Los Angeles, April 26 at One Market Restaurant in San Francisco  and  April  27 at  Anthony’s Home  Port at  Shilshole Bay in Seattle. Scores from the 36 oyster-loving judges, a mix of media, restaurateurs, and retailers, in the three cities were combined to select this year’s 10 equal ‘Oyster Award’ winners.
