Small Family-owned Dry Creek Valley Winery Crushes Competition at 2013 Sonoma County Harvest Fair
HEALDSBURG, Calif., Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ Estate 1856, a boutique, family-owned and -operated winery in Dry Creek Valley, swept the competition at the 2013 Sonoma County Harvest Fair, winning the coveted Red Wine Sweepstakes for its 2010 Bordeaux Blend. Husband-and-wife team, Brian Schmidt (Vineyard Manager) and Janice Schmidt (Winemaker), accepted the award on behalf of the winery. For those familiar with Estate 1856, the win is not surprising the winery has won gold medals for every wine it has produced since introducing its first vintage in 2009. But when you consider an entry field of 973 wines, which in total earned 174 gold medals, 51 double gold medals, 41 best of class awards and 3 sweepstakes winners, it was a remarkable feat for this small, young winery to have poked its head above such a large group of well-known industry giants to take the top spot.
