Tasting

We are very excited to welcome you back to Decanter’s third annual NYC Fine Wine Encounter 2024.

The Global Fine Wine Encounters, which now include London, NYC and Singapore for the first time this year, are always a truly spectacular showcase of some of the world’s finest wines that we are proud to share with you.

Every producer in the Grand Tasting has brought a special wine for you which will be highlighted on each producer page. Alongside the Grand Tasting, we are featuring four exceptional masterclasses and one unique opportunity to taste a selection of 27 Gold, Platinum and Best in Show winning wines from the Decanter World Wine Awards Bar.

We are very grateful for each and every producer who has made the journey to be here today and present their wines to you in person. We would also like to thank our loyal sponsor, Riedel Wine Glass Company, for their valued support in supplying this event with the perfect glass for the occasion.

We hope you will share your favourite moments and photos from this weekend by taking part in our X and Instagram competition. This will give you the chance to win a pair of tickets to our next NYC event in 2025. We look forward to seeing your photos from this weekend; please tag @Decanter using #DecanterFWE

Cheers!

THE DWWA JUDGING PROCESS

GOLD, SILVER & BRONZE MEDALS

In the first round of judging, Regional Chairs oversee their respective panels, settle any score discrepancies, and re-taste all Silver and Gold winners for consistency.

The DWWA Co-Chairs then re-taste all wines scoring 94 points and above for final endorsement. Silver winners are therefore tasted at least twice, but up to three times, and Gold winners are tasted three times. This rigorous process ensures that each wine is reviewed thoroughly.

Gold medals are awarded to wines scoring 95-96 points, Silver medals to those scoring 90-94 points and Bronze to wines scoring 86-89 points.

PLATINUM 97-100 POINTS

In the second round of judging, a panel consisting of Co-Chairs and Regional Chairs re-taste all the Gold winners to guarantee consistent quality, potentially downgrading some to Silver and awarding Platinum medals to the best wines.

BEST IN SHOW 97-100 POINTS

The competition culminates in a final tasting of Platinum winners by the Co-Chairs where the ultimate accolade of 'Best in Show' is given to the finest wines of DWWA.

TRUSTWORTHY RESULTS

A competition is only as good as its judges, and the Decanter World Wine Awards prides itself on recruiting the world’s greatest wine palates, including merchants, sommeliers, critics, wine writers, educators, Masters of Wine and Master Sommeliers.

We recruit judges who have an intimate knowledge of a specific region, which we believe is crucial in order to recognise typicity and quality. All wines are tasted blind as part of our unique and specialised judging process.

CATEGORISATION FOR JUDGING

The success of Decanter World Wine Awards rests on its unique judging process with wines evaluated on a regional basis in carefully organised flights by country, region, colour, grape, style, vintage and price band to ensure wines are judged against their peers.

PRICE BAND A: up to £14.99 (value)

PRICE BAND B: £15 to £24.99

PRICE BAND C: £25 to £49.99

PRICE BAND D: £50 to £99.99

PRICE BAND E: £100+
