Wine shows and wine awards merit a whole newsletter on their own.
Why did we choose to highlight the Platter ratings? All other wine shows can only judge the wines entered, whereas the Platter guide endeavours to taste just about every single wine that is produced – this year they tasted OVER 8000 wines. There is no other wine producing country in the world that has a guide remotely as informative and comprehensive.
