Best West Coast Oyster Wines Announced!
May 20, 2013
Lane Hoss, vice president of marketing for Anthony’s Restaurants, judges the West Coast’s best oyster wines
Winners of the 19th annual Pacific Coast Oyster Wine Competition were announced late last month by Taylor Shellfish Farms. As always, the competition was stiff, as leading food professionals in Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, searched for the ultimate “bliss factor” between wine and oyster.
I’ve been honored to judge the competition twice, and write articles for The Seattle Times Pacific Northwest magazine, Wine Press Northwest magazine, and Northwest Notes.
Heartiest congratulations to this year’s “Oyster Award” winners, which include:
**Cedergreen Cellars 2011 Sauvignon Blanc (WA)
**Chateau Ste. Michele 2012 Sauvignon Blanc (WA)
**Dry Creek Vineyards 2012 Dry Chenin Blanc (CA)
**Geyser Peak Winery 2012 Sauvignon Blanc (CA)
**Kunde Family Estates 2012 Sauvingnon Blanc (CA)
Long Meadow Ranch Winery 2012 Sauvignon Blanc (CA)
*Three Pears 2012 Pinot Grigio (CA)
