Gray Ghost wins more medals
Gray Ghost Winery of Amissville, VA., swept the 20th Annual Tasters Guild International Wine Judging held in Grand Rapids, MI, winning medals on all nine wines entered and taking home gold on the 2005 Reserve Chardonnay and 2006 Merlot. Gray Ghost earned six silver medals for the 2006 Adieu, 2006 Gewurztraminer, 2006 Seyval Blanc, 2006 Vidal Blanc, 2004 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and 2006 Cabernet Franc. The 2005 Chardonnay was awarded a bronze.
Joe Borrello, President of the Tasters Guild wrote, “Of the 1,911 wines entered, your wine was single out by the judges – a most prestigious achievement.” This is the fifth time Gray Ghost has swept this competition.
This news comes on the heels of an extraordinary win in California’s prestigious 2007 Pacific Rim International Wine Competition. Gray Ghost’s 2005 Reserve Chardonnay was awarded Gold in this competition, surpassing more expensive Chardonnays from California powerhouses like Kendall-Jackson, Trefethen and V. Sattui.
Gray Ghost was the only Virginia Chardonnay to wine Gold. In addition, Gray Ghost was the only Virginia wine to medal in three additional categories winning a silver on the 2006 Gewurztraminer and Bronze on the 2006 Adieu and 2006 Vidal Blanc. Gray Ghost Winery is located at 14706 Lee Highway in Amissville and can be contacted at 540-937-4869. The tasting room is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
