In this file we display the winners of the wine tastings since January 1, 1993. However, in some instances, the competition from the other wines was not judged to be significant. In those case, we will report no winner. We also omitted one tasting of three wines in which all three tied for first place.
If the "win" is statistically significant, we shall place an asterisk next to the wine's name. If more than one wine is listed as a winner, they have tied for first place. In such a case, the vintages of the winning wines are given in the same order as their names.
