           Dallas Morning News Wine Competition

Smoky Hill has received notice of the results of the 2008 Dallas Morning News Wine Competition.  Widely respected in the wine industry, this competition had over 3500 entries from the US, Australia, Italy, France and Spain.  California had the largest number of domestic entries, winning over one thousand medals...so we know the competition was stiff!  And now, we are pleased to announce Smoky Hill placed two out of four wines submitted for competition. The Red Raspberry, a long-time Smoky Hill favorite and frequent people's choice award, received a Bronze medal, and Sweet Lady placed in the top 24% of all awards, taking a Silver.

Congratulations, Norm!

April 21st was the official release date for the 2006 Dry Vignoles, a single barrel, special edition wine.
