Award Winning Long
Island Wines
from our North Fork Vineyards
 The 2010 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition is a fundraising event for such causes as Camp Good Days and Special Times. The programs and services provided by Camp Good Days is dedicated to improving the quality of life for children and families affected by cancer and other life challenges. At this years Wine Competition Castello di Borghese was awarded a Silver Medal for their 2005 Merlot and 2008 Riesling.
 The 2009 World Value Wine Challenge is the nation’s most comprehensive competition for wines $20 and under—a focused search for wines that give the most value to the consumer.
This year’s categories reflect new trends, pricing, and a fresh look at what value wines are. Simply put, value wines are not cheap wines, but wines that offer more flavor and quality at a better price than wines at the same or higher price points.
Castello di Borghese is proud to announce that they received a Silver Medal with an 86 rating for their 2007 Chardonnay $16.99, and a Silver Medal with an 86 rate for their 2008 Sauvignon Blanc $19.99.
At the 2009 New York Wine & Food Classic in the Finger Lakes…Borghese Vineyard wines GOLD for their 2008 Riesling.
The New York Wine & Food Classic has become known as "The Oscars" of the New York wine industry.
The awards were based on blind tastings by 24 expert judges—6 from California, 12 from New York, and 6 from other states. Judges included prominent wine writers, restaurateurs, retailers, and wine educators. Four-judge panels determined the initial awards, with top-scoring wines evaluated by all 24 judges for Best of Category and Governor’s Cup awards.
Best-of-Appellation Evaluation Program
The results are in for the 2009 "Best-of-Appellation" evaluation tasting and Borghese Vineyard has been awarded a Double Gold for their Merlot 2003 and Chardonnay 2007,
and a Gold for their Pinot Noir 2005, Sauvignon Blanc 2007 and Cabernet Franc 2004, respectively.
The "Best-of-Appellation" (BOA) evaluation tastings are designed to facilitate the building of place-identity for the hundreds of winegrowing regions of North America. The BOA Program is not, per se, a competition, though the wines that best express the character and quality of their region of origin are rewarded with medals and placement on Appellation America's Best-of-Appellation Lists for that region.
The BOA process rigorously follows this familiar proposition:
The best wines are defined by place,
and the character of each appellation
is defined by its best wines.
In the BOA process, the "best" wines are defined by their own place of origin; NOT by the personal taste preferences of our esteemed and expert Evaluators. Nor are the wines of one place judged implicitly against the taste profile of wines from another place.
