Each year, wine experts from around the state gather to taste and rate many hundreds of California wines. The judges are wine educators, wine makers, wine journalists, retailers, wholesalers, wine collectors and those from the restaurant trade, and their job is daunting. This year, 72 judges evaluated 2,625 entries from 709 different brands.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigfun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/2013-Wine-Competition-Awards.pdf\">big winners <\/a>were recognized recently\u00a0at an event at the State Capitol.

They are a cultural beacon in our state, a sense of pride for Californians, and a reason for people around the world to come visit. Wine is one of California\u2019s signature products \u2013 an image leader, right\u00a0there with our beaches, our remarkable cities, our mountains, our deserts, our amusement parks,\u00a0our entertainment industry, and our\u00a0innovative food and agriculture producers.<\/p>\n<p>I invite you to learn more about the wine competition and a great deal more about California agriculture by visiting our State Fair, which, along with\u00a0our excellent local fairs,\u00a0provides a great opportunity to see the spectacular bounty California has to offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; As we look forward to the start of another State Fair season in California (July 12-28), an annual hallmark of preparation has already passed &#8211; the State Fair Wine Competition.
