LOWER LAKE >> Six Sigma Ranch and Winery recently received a double-gold medal at “The Fifty Best” Sauvignon Blanc competition held in New York City for the 2013 Asbill Valley Sauvignon Blanc.
A double-gold medal indicates that every judge agreed that the wine deserves a gold medal. Only six wineries were awarded the honor.
Two days after receiving the double-gold Six Sigma was told that the Wine Enthusiast magazine awarded the 2013 Sauvignon Blanc a score of 90 points and named an “Editors” Choice.” Look for it in Wine Enthusiast”s Best of 2014 issue.
“Two prestigious recognitions in the same week is fantastic,” Matt Hughes, winemaker at Six Sigma Winery, said. “The entire team at Six Sigma Winery works hard to make great wines. To have other professionals taste our wines and appreciate the quality is an honor.”
Kaj and Else Ahlmann the proprietors were equally ecstatic.
Kaj said, “This is great news for everyone at the winery and is great timing for the holiday season. Our Sauvignon Blanc is great with the classic holiday dinner. It pairs well with turkey or ham and the traditional side dishes.”
Walt Campbell, long-time employee at the ranch stated, “I am excited for people to come by the tasting room and not only try the Sauvignon Blanc but all of our award winning wines. It is a true testament to what hard work can accomplish.”
