In its sixth year, the awards have been moved to Chicago, opening even more opportunities. Chicago is a central location in the United States, making it easier for wineries from all over the country and the world to ship their wines to the competition. Plus, Chicago is a major wine market with a large population of wine drinkers and sommeliers. Winners will have more exposure to potential buyers and sellers in Chicago, and the diverse food scene with restaurants serving cuisine from all over the world makes it a great place to host a wine competition and for winners to gain exposure.
