The Sommeliers Choice Awards proudly welcomes Heather Durham-Birley, Kat Hawkins, and Greg Spalding to its 2026 judging panel — a trio of accomplished wine professionals who bring education, leadership, and service excellence to the competition.
Over 100 sommeliers are set to gather at the New York Metropolitan Pavilion to taste the Top 100 on-premise wines of the year, and other wine brands from across the globe.
