French Lick Winery medals in Finger Lakes Wine & Spirits competition

The 21st Annual Finger Lakes International Wine & Spirits Competition (FLIWC) was held June 15-17 and June 21, 2021. All proceeds from the competition benefit the children and families affected by cancer and sickle cell anemia served by Camp Good Days & Special Times.

Started 21 years ago, The Finger Lakes International Wine & Spirits Competition has become one of the largest
wine competitions in the world to be run by a nonprofit organization.

Significant changes made to the competition last year remained in place to make sure that the health and safety of
all involved was at the forefront due to COVID-19. Over 1,750 wines and spirits were entered and then blind
judged by a distinguished group of judges composed of sommeliers, winemakers, wine writers, experienced spirits
judges, and educators. They awarded bronze, silver and gold medals, and where it was unanimous, double gold.

The wine portion of the competition was held down at the Camp Good Days recreational facility on Keuka Lake on
June 15-17, 2021 and the spirits portion of the competition was held at the headquarters office in Mendon, NY on
June 21, 2021.

All wines and spirits were presented blind to the panel of judges with only the varietal or blend identified. No
indication of geography, vintage, or price point is shared, ensuring total unbiased evaluation given to each wine
and spirit. The judges award them unanimous Double Gold, Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals.

French Lick Wine & Spirits won the following medals:
• BRONZE – Heaven’s View Bella Vista 2019 and Foch 2019
• SILVER – Heaven’s View Traminette 2019, Heaven’s View Catawba 2020, Leon Millot 2020, and Heaven’s View
Steuben 2019
• GOLD – French Lick Red 2020
• DOUBLE GOLD – Cherry Pie 2020 and Mon Cheri 2020

The event was a success thanks to the many volunteers, the wonderful judges, and the key people who helped
make the competition possible.

The following Camp Good Days Wine & Spirits Auction Dinner is scheduled for November 6, 2021, but will
potentially be rescheduled to an online auction. The Camp Good Days Auction will feature only medal-winning
wines and spirits from the competition along with other valuable items.
