Well, here I go bragging again. We’ve won more medals. We dun good.
This time, the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition at the end of March. We got four:
- SILVER - 2006 Motley Cru (yee-aah!!! Motley’s first medal!)
- BRONZE - 2007 Chardonnay
- BRONZE - 2007 Viognier
- BRONZE - 2007 Social Club White
The great thing about this competition is that all the proceeds go to benefit Camp Good Days, a retreat in New York’s Finger Lakes for children and families who suffer from cancer and other major diseases - all all of the camp’s services are free to these families. So, it was about a lot more than just winning prizes. Make a donation at their website!

Appellation America (www.appellationamerica.com) is a website dedicated to American wines, and is a detailed resource for understanding the great variety of wines produced in North America and their characteristics as influenced by the terroir in the growing number of AVA’s, or American Viticultural Areas, in the U.S. Appellation America regularly conducts comparative regional tastings, the purpose being to not only define a set of characteristics that represent the terrior of that particular area, but to also identify the area’s producers whose wines best showcase those characteristics and the quality of the area’s craftsmanship in the region.
BOE’s wines will be featured on the website’s Best-of-Appellation Wine List as wines that define the quality and identity of the region!
