California's Gold Wine is a "Gold Mine" of information. Gold Wine(s) have won Gold Medal(s)at one or more annual wine competitions. Gold Wine is the best of its varietal type. Any Gold Wine is worth a try. A Gold Wine that has won in multiple competitions is even more "Golden".

The listings in these pages are specially organized for you to print and use in your favorite wine stores and restaurants to quickly identify a specific wine's awards. A two-year window, spanning 1998-1999 is provided since wines tend to take about two years to clear the retailer stocks.

So don't waste time. Print these pages and rush to your favorite wine store. To Print these pages, go back to the main page and choose the No Frames choice. Then use your browser to print the pages and you are ready for the wine store. Remember to hurry, Gold Wines tends to disappear rather quickly.

The current listings include over 500 different gold medal wines from more than 250 different wineries.

These pages will be updated frequently as each competition is completed so that you will have the latest information to use in your buying decisions.

Initially, we offer information on six popular varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel. As the site develops, we will add others.
