About the Competitions
SommCon’s wine and spirits competition series, called “Concours,” is presented in partnership with The SOMM Journal and The Tasting Panel Magazine. Concours d’Spirits and Concours d’Vin are impartial competitions of domestic and international wines and spirits. Entries are judged blind by a jury of beverage professionals and leaders within the wine and spirits industries. The blind judging format ensures that all competition submissions are treated uniformly and fairly.
