The Ultimate Beverage Challenge results are in.
The Results of the Inaugural Ultimate Wine Challenge Are In!
June 22, 2010 (New York, NY) - The first Ultimate Wine Challenge was conducted at Astor Center in New York City this past June 7-11. Operated by Ultimate Beverage Challenge, a New York-based beverage competition and events company created by award-winning journalist/author F. Paul Pacult, David Talbot and Sue Woodley, Ultimate Wine Challenge set a new standard for how wines should be evaluated by panels of judges.
The Chairman’s Trophy 2010 winners are:
Champagne: Piper-Heidsieck Rare 1999, $275.00
Red Blend: Chateau Julien la Conviviance 2006, $90.00
For the complete list of results, go to www.ultimate-beverage.com/uwc2010-results/
Four panels of best-of-the-best judges led by Judging Chairman F. Paul Pacult - specifically Jennifer Simonetti-Bryan MW, Mary Ewing-Mulligan MW, Laura Maniec MS, Steve Olson, Nick Passmore, Ed McCarthy, David Lusby, James Conley, John McClement, Michael Apstein, Patricia Savoie, Mary Gorman and Sean Ludford, Assistant Judging Chairman - carefully assessed nearly 500 domestic and international wines. The judging panels did not know the identity of any of the entered still, sparkling, fortified and sake wines in order to promote a completely level playing field for all entrants. Entrants were judged on the 100-point rating system in multiple stages to arrive at the top wine per category. All wines were judged in flights according to price, grape type and region. The highest scoring wine in each category was awarded the coveted Ultimate Wine Challenge Chairman’s Trophy.
Said Pacult of the first Ultimate Wine Challenge, “With UBC’s emphasis on integrity, method and credibility, coupled with the enormous experience of our world-class judges, we’ve created an innovative, exciting and authentic way for wines to be assessed and then presented to consumers.”

What an Honor when someone names their boat from your Wine!
Yes - One our great friends and long time customers actually named their boat after our product La Conviviance.
As reported by Wine & Spirits Daily
MERLOT'S REPUTATION BETTER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT
Although merlot sometimes gets a bad rap, a new study by Nielsen and commissioned by Blackstone Winery found that merlot "has the single largest consumer base of any varietal wine in the U.S. and, of the major wine varietals, is the one most closely associated with high quality at an affordable price." Interesting. Conventional wisdom tells us that merlot took a big hit from Sideways, while pinot noir benefited. Not so says Nielsen. "Contrary to what people may think, Merlot never died," says Danny Brager, Nielsen vp of beverage alcohol. Perhaps that's because the majority of loyal merlot drinkers never saw Sideways. Forty-five percent of participants in Nielsen's survey of merlot drinkers never saw the movie, and 93% of those that saw the movie say it had no effect on their opinion of merlot. Since Sideways, merlot dollar sales and volume have grown steadily and the number of US households purchasing merlot more than doubles those purchasing pinot noir. This isn't surprising since pinot noir's growth comes off a much lower base than merlot.
More American households purchase merlot than any other wine variety, red or white. The varietal is reportedly loved for its taste, value and approachability, and also has the highest repeat purchase rate of any wine variety in the U.S. A majority of 90% of respondents say "taste" is the most important factor in their wine-buying decisions, with "good value" ranking second. Not surprisingly, 80% of respondents consider merlot "a good everyday and food wine," while roughly 70% find merlot to be "a good value" (rising to "great" when priced under $12 per bottle), "a good wine to drink at home," and "approachable and reliable."
Although merlot is the third most popular varietal after chardonnay and cabernet, it has a higher household penetration than any other wine variety, with 9.5% of U.S. households purchasing at least one bottle of merlot in 2008 compared to 9.3% for chardonnay and 8.8% for cabernet sauvignon. Merlot also boasts the highest repeat purchase rate of any variety, with 49% of merlot consumers making multiple purchases year over year.
Gary Sitton, winemaker for Blackstone Winery said: "There's no question there was some mediocre Merlot in the market earlier this decade as a result of growers planting too much in ill-advised areas. But much of that acreage has been pulled out, and the quality of California Merlot has greatly improved - supply and demand have come back into balance."
