Wines of the South
Wines of the South is an annual regional wine competition designed to promote
and celebrate the great tastes of Southern vintages.
For the past twenty years, the Tennessee Farm Winegrowers Association (TFWA) has
held a wine competition that was also open to wineries in the states contiguous
to Tennessee. With the creation of the Wines of the South Competition,
all southern wineries now have a unique venue in which we can compare,
compete, and promote one another’s winemaking art! In 2002, the University
of Tennessee joined the TFWA to help coordinate this new wine competition. Dr.
Bill Morris, Professor of Food Sciences UT, is the competition Chairman.
He coordinates the entire competition: from contacting the judges to shipping
the medals. Wineries in thirteen states are invited to participate.
Those states include:
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, South Carolina, and Virginia.
In addition to Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medals, there are awards for Best of
Show, Best White Wine, Best Red Wine, Best Blush Wine, Best Fruit Wine, and Best
Dessert Wine. The TFWA also continues the annual William O. Beach Award for the
best wine made from 100% Tennessee grapes.
Please visit the
Wines of the South web site for more details and a list of winning wines.
