Selection is one of the leading Culinary magazines in Germany with many interesting topics on wine, food, culture and travel – regularly an independent expert jury carries out objective tastings.
Being part of the jury for German and European top wines was an amazing experience. The Grand Jury tasted the wines blindfolded, more than 40 wines per table per day. For 3 days we had a full program to taste more than 1.000 bottles in the following categories:
Best German Young Wineries 2017 “and” The Best Young Wineries Riesling producers ” (total winner and then divided by region, as well as the winners and top 10 wines in different wine categories)
“Organic winery of the year 2017” (total winner, nation-winner, also divided by regions, as well as the winners and top 10 wines in different wine categories)
Banquet wines
“Burgundy Winery of the Year” and Burgundy wines in various price categories
Wines from the wooden barrel (categories large barrel, barriques, old, new, mixed)
Autochthonous grape varieties and new varieties
Wines from Spain
Wines from Greece
South Tyrolean wines
Sparkling wines.
Wines along the Franconian wine route and hiking trails
Spirits, liqueurs / distilleries of the year 2017 / liqueur producer of the year 2017
Every bottle is tasted blindfolded. This is the only way to ensure that the jury evaluates the products neutrally, without possibly being influenced by the producer’s name. Our professional jury assesses internationally standardized criteria, taking into account the visual aspect, smell, taste and overall impression.
