Veramar Vineyard proudly announces the achievement of a GOLD medal for our 2007 Cabernet Franc and two Silver medals for our 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon and Late Harvest D’Ora at the 2009 Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition.

Veramar Vineyard, a pioneer in the Virginia wine making industry, delights in being once more honored with such a prestigious award and building our national and international recognition. This new achievement ranks with several awards and commendations received at five world-renowned wine competitions that have been held in Europe and the United States this year, including our Chardonnay’s capture of a coveted medal in the largest wine competition in the world, The Decanter World Wine Competition in London, England.

Celebrating its 70th anniversary, the esteemed 2009 Los Angeles Wine and Spirits Competition annually encounters nearly 4,000 entries from around the globe. Nearly 100 international judges, whose expertise maintain the highest standards of integrity and professionalism, come to LA to participate. Their dedication and hard work has helped earn the competition USA Today’s respect as one of the “Top 5” wine competitions in the United States. It is the competition’s hope that by showcasing the wines entered, participants will continue to build stronger customer relations, and receive more recognition both nationally and globally.

Veramar Vineyard has been producing award-winning wines with premium grapes grown in the Shenandoah Valley since our first vintage in 2000, which has become constant encouragement to maintain such a high standard and quality in our product. Being recognized with one of the highest honors in one of the industry’s most respected competitions is testament to the level of commitment Veramar continues to preserve. Jim Bogaty, grape farmer and owner of Veramar Vineyard explains, “We create a wide spectrum of varietal wines and unique blends to satisfy the taste of every wine lover! From specialties to limited releases, hand-crafted vintages and everything in between, the Veramar Wine family of products is sure to please. We are continually recognized in prominent international and local wine competitions.”
