The identifying codes (NW9, SF9, etc.) above will appear with each wine listing to indicate in which events Gold Medals were won. Special awards follow the Gold Medal awards. For example, on the Cabernet Sauvignon page, the following listing

GREENWOOD RIDGE 96 Mendocino Ridge, Estate Bottled --LA9,OC9 --

means that the 1996 Greenwood Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon with the words "Mendocino Ridge" and "Estate Bottled" on the label was awarded gold medals at the 1999 Los Angeles County Fair --LA9--, and the 1999 Orange County Fair --OC9-- Special awards, such as Best of Show, etc. are listed as applicable.

The wines are listed as they appear in the official competition results publications. Wineries are encouraged to submit additions or corrections to the E-Mail address below.

For simplicity, the words "Wine", "Wines", "Winery" "Vineyard(s)" and "Cellars" are removed from the winery name unless absolutely necessary to prevent confusion. Winery names that are person names are listed by the last name. "NV" means Non-Vintage.
