Scores and Awards
Over the past several years, an increasing number of New Jersey wines have gained recognition from national and international wine competitions. Wines from the Garden State have continued to impress the critics in blind tasting competitions and earned special mention in reputable publications such as the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.
One of the most important goals of The Winemakers Co-Op is to raise the profile of New Jersey fine wines on both the global and international stage. This includes encouraging and spotlighting high quality Garden State wines via critical press outreach, exclusive events and industry investment.
Our member wineries are dedicated to making high quality wines that express their unique terroir and microclimates, in a continuing quest to produce the best possible wines vintage after vintage.
