The INDY is the largest independent and scientifically organized wine competition in the United States. Panels of experts and amateurs from around the world conduct a blind judging to choose the winners. This year nearly 2700 commercial entries came from 15 countries and 39 U.S. states. More than 50 wine industry professionals were selected to judge, including winemakers, wine writers, sommeliers, enologists, wine grape growers, chefs, wine distributors, and wine retailers.
