 What is the jury format?The Portland Indie Wine Festival is a juried competition featuring Oregon’s premier boutique wineries that produce fewer than 2,000 cases annually. On March 10th, three panels comprised of wine experts from the media, trade, and winemaking professions came together for a blind tasting to determine who’ll make the cut in 2008. After the jury individually rated each wine, an average was calculated for a final score. Of the 175 wine submissions, only the top 40 wineries will be admitted into this year’s festival during the first weekend in May. The Indie Wine Festival’s expert judging panel guarantees an authentic experience and ensures that your ticket dollar is well spent. Attendees have the unique opportunity to talk with these often unknown, small-production winemakers from around the state, and may purchase their wines to take home. We are honored to have our panel of distinguished judges take part in the festival, and we thank them for their generous support as we uncork the best of Oregon.
