Vinmetrica knows what it takes to make a great wine; it takes hard work and proper testing techniques. Eventually we all learn how to become sommeliers, because, let’s face it, we all like to taste test our wine too! We started Vinmetrica with a desire to make quality devices for wine makers that are accurate, easy to use, and affordable. This stemmed from the fact that we are wine makers ourselves. We have been making wine for many years and we decided to enter two of our wines in the wine competition at the San Diego County Fair.
Our 2009 Merlot was made at home as our first trial with Oak barrels from grapes grown in El Dorado County. This wine received the Silver medal from the San Diego County fair. Our 2011 Merlot was made here at Vinmetrica using grapes from Ramona Valley. We were awarded the gold medal and were given the honor of being the “Best in Class” this year. We attribute our success to regularly testing for sulfite and other analyses for both wines. Rich was surprised and thrilled at the news!
The awards ceremony was on June 29th where Rich received his awards. He was able to taste some of the 300 highly qualified entries in the competition as well as taste locally made cheese. The event was well organized and it was great to see some of our customers thriving in the competition.
We hope to see you all again next year!
