We are proud to present the first testimonial on
our website, please take your time to read the story below.
REX JOHNSTON &
BARBARA BENTLEY OF WALNUT CREEK, CALIFORNIA, WIN THE GOLDEN BEAR TROPHY FOR
THE BEST OF SHOW WHITE WINE AT THE 2006 CALIFORNIA STATE FAIR WITH YAKIMA
VALLEY VIOGNIER
The highest award a California amateur winemaker can aspire to
win is a California State Fair Golden Bear trophy. The 2006
California State Fair amateur winemaking competition was judged using
exactly the same standards, scales, and system employed in judging the
California State Fair Commercial Wine Competition. Using these very
strict guidelines, only three white wines out of over 600 total wine
entries received a gold medal. Cellar Craft International 2004 Yakima
Valley Viognier, produced by Bentley Cellars, received one of them and went
on to win the Golden Bear as the Best of Show White Wine. This kit
also won Bentley Cellars a gold medal at the 2006 Orange County Wine
Society's amateur competition. Similarly, this competition uses very
high judging standards and extremely qualified judges.
Barbara Bentley was awarded the Cellar Craft International 2005
Yakima Valley Viognier kit for winning the Gold prize for her Elephant
Heart Plum label in the 2004 Winemaker magazine's label competition.
Thank you Cellar Craft International, for helping us win our
dream bear!!
Rex Johnston and Barbara Bentley
Congratulations to all the winners and if you know of
