Hammondsport, New York – January 13, 2014 – Out of 3,000 white wines entered in the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, the Dr. Frank 2013 Semi-Dry Riesling came out on top, tying for “Best White Wine”. On the way to the top, the 2013 Semi-Dry Riesling won a double gold medal (unanimous gold from all judges).
The 2013 Semi-Dry Riesling is Dr. Frank’s flagship wine and consistently the most award-winning. Beating out over 3,000 white wines for the top honor at the largest wine competition in the United States is truly the ultimate honor. Dr. Frank’s 2013 Semi-Dry Riesling tied with a Napa Valley Chardonnay, a feat that no one would have thought possible twenty years ago. The Dr. Frank 2013 Semi-Dry Riesling retails for $14.99 and by stark comparison, the Napa Valley Chardonnay retails for $38.
At the same competition, the Dr. Frank 2013 Dry Riesling won a double gold medal and the Chateau Frank Célèbre Rosé won a gold medal.
