This year’s TEXSOM Awards and TEXSOM Retreat are testaments to all of us as a community making the event. Together with 40 judges, 29 TEXSOM Retreat members, 75 production team members, and 2,036 total entries you helped to make this year’s Awards one of the most dynamic in the history of the competition. We truly had the breadth of the beverage world represented. Of the entries judged, the judges awarded 1,541 medals: 70 Judges’ Selection medals, 70 Platinum medals, 91 Gold medals, 608 Silver medals, and 702 Bronze medals.
Beverages demonstrating quality and unique character that are exceptional even amongst their medal-winning peers may be nominated by judging panels for Judges’ Selection categories. A total of 140 entries received a Judges' Selection nomination and were elevated to Platinum medal. The Judges’ Selection nominees were submitted to head-to-head judging within expansive categories and 70 were awarded a Judges’ Selection medal as the highest award of the competition.
Congratulations to these Texas wineries for their award winning Texas wines:
