Santé Magazine International Wine & Spirits Competition Winners Announced

Healdsburg, Calif., (October 11, 2021) The industry is entering a post-pandemic world: hospitality is coming back strong and consumer demand is trending upward. People are ready to celebrate— with the best wines and spirits available. 

With this celebratory spirit in mind, the inaugural Santé Magazine International Wine & Spirits Competition was held on September 29, 2021. 

Experienced judges from all sectors of the wine industry tasted over 500 wines and nearly 100 spirits over the course of the two-day event. They selected the Best of Show for the red, white, rosé, and sparkling wine categories during the wine competition. The spirits competition resulted in not one, but two entrants receiving perfect 100-point scores. 

“For a first-year competition, not only were we very pleased with the number of entries, but more importantly, so impressed with the quality of the wines and spirits that were submitted. It’s a testament to the reputation of Santé Magazine, their sphere of influence in the restaurant and hospitality sectors and the level of awareness they can generate for winning producers. We’re looking forward closely with Santé to growing this competition over the years ahead” according to Debra Del Fiorentino, Founder, Wine & Spirits Competitions & Management.
