The evening prior to judging and tasting the wines entered in the Oregon Wine Competition the panel of judges are invited to a Gold Medal Dinner. The Gold Medal dinner are wines from the previous years Gold Medal awards paired with a wonderful cuisine by Chef Derek Ridgeway from Bentley's Grill located in Salem, Oregon. Last years wine paired dinner was incredible!
The Gold Medal Dinner gives the panel of judges the opportunity to taste the level of excellence in all of the wines. Also, a chance to meet each other and discuss the competition.
This level of excellence is in each of the Gold Medal awarded wines!
