After successful virtual judging in San Francisco in mid-August, 2020, Korta Katarina Winery received four Silver Medals (Pošip, Plavac Mali, Zinfandel, and Winemaker Selection) from a distinguished panel of high-profile sommeliers and wine directors. Medals were awarded to those wines that met specific judging criteria, with a goal of identifying wines that should become additions to restaurant wine lists. Wines were judged on Food Parability, Typicity, Value, Quality, and Package. 

“We are honored our Korta Katarina Wines scored so highly on the various factors making it a desirable wine for consumers to enjoy in high-end restaurants,” said Winery General Manager Ivo Cibilić. “We put a lot of emphasis on creating a premium wine with consumer appeal, and one that wine drinkers will enjoy for a variety of different occasions. This award is a validation of our wine-making expertise."

Sid Patel, CEO of event organizers Beverage Trade Network, pointed out the significance of having world-class sommeliers choose the wines they think customers will most enjoy drinking, “The idea of the Sommeliers Choice Awards is to put the best judges forward to evaluate the best on-premise wines for the consumer. We are pleased with the quality of the wines received and very satisfied with the winners.”
