Your 2013 Wines of the Year

24.2.2014

Selecting the winners of the 2013 IWCoK Wine awards was no easy task. I can hardly believe that we offered our members a total of 99 different wines in 2013. A selection so huge that is was clearly difficult for members to choose a favorite.

So once the votes were counted, a total of 21 different wines were selected as YOUR FAVORITE. That’s right, 21 ! I am not sure if this is a wine club president dream or nightmare, but this sure tells us that our members are a diverse bunch.

So, now that all the votes are all in and counted, there is nothing left to do but announce the 2013 award winners.

Cuvée Rosé CLARETTE by Knipster from Germany Arte Vini
