2020 Top 100 Wines for Restaurants Registration Closes Soon

Top 100 On-Premise wines is a celebration of 100 top wines at the Sommeliers Choice Awards. Uniquely, the T100 Wines are selected from votes made by top Sommeliers and On-Premise wine buyers of the USA. These wines are curated every year for the restaurant industry of the USA.

The top two questions that sommeliers ask to come up with the top on-premise wines are “Would we stock this?” and "Will the consumer buy the 2nd glass". The judging criteria includes:

F (Food Parability Score) + T (Typicity Score) + Q (Quality Score) + Value Score (V) + Package Score (P) = Sommeliers Choice Awards Final Score.

A separate weighted score is given for each of the parts of the judging process.

Submissions are now open for the 2020 Sommeliers Choice Awards. Top 100 Wines at the Sommeliers Choice Awards will make the 2019 USA's Top 100 On-Premise wines which will be marketed to restaurants and on-premise buyers of USA.

Sommeliers and Wine Directors can order from the below wineries these wines that made to the 2019 Top 100 On-Premise Wines List.
