The 2019 TEXSOM International Wine Awards results were released from the judging that was held February 18-20, 2019. There were 3,294 entries representing 32 countries and 18 U.S. States, a record for the competition.
The entries were judged by 66 internationally renowned judges from five countries, including 16 Master Sommeliers, 17 Masters of Wine, and other category experts. The judges awarded 2,233 medals: 258 Gold medals (8% of total entries), 859 Silver medals (26%), and 1,116 Bronze medals (34%). Vintages spanned 36 years, with the oldest red from 1985, and the oldest white from 1991.
“TEXSOM IWA 2019 represented a new era for the awards with a more powerful platform for identifying and promoting wines of the highest quality; the inclusion of a record number of sommeliers, writers, and Master Sommelier mentors in the unique Sommelier Retreat that offers sommeliers a chance to taste and comment on award-winning wines after they are judged; and, the diversity of entries and judges from around the world. All of these elements allow TEXSOM IWA to benefit not only the award-winning entrants, but all aspects of the industry. We look forward to continuing to develop TEXSOM IWA with services and content for various segments of the industry,” says co-founder, James Tidwell.
“As the competition continues to grow in participation, we feel that the standards of judging attributable to the level of judges that the competition attracts will ensure that TEXSOM IWA medals remain in the forefront of meaningful awards.”
Wines chosen for Judges’ Selections are nominated by judging panels for specific categories, then blind-tasted by special panels to determine the winner of each Selection. Judges’ Selections demonstrate quality and unique character that are exceptional even amongst their medal-winning peers.
