SONOMA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 10, 2007 -- 360 Global Wine Company (OTCBB : TSIX ) and the
Viansa Winery & Italian Marketplace, announced today that its 2004 "Athena"
Dolcetto was awarded a Gold Medal at Jerry Mead's 2007 New World
International Wine Competition.
Viansa's 2004 "Athena" Dolcetto with 100% Dolcetto grapes, a varietal
native to northern Italy, is a fruity delight and a friendly spring and
summer wine with notes of raspberry, strawberry and sweet cherry. This wine
has an inviting high fruity-ness and low tannin, with a soft and supple
mouth-feel, making it ideal for early consumption. This is a remarkably
food friendly wine as well as a good "bridge wine" for those just learning
to appreciate red wines or even white wine aficionados. We recommend
chilling "Athena" slightly before serving for added enjoyment.
The 2007 competition took place on March 18th and 19th at the Hilton
Ontario Airport in Ontario, CA, where over 2,100 wines were judged. The
competition is open to all varietals, generic and proprietary wines grown
in those regions and made from traditional grapes or other fruits and/or
berries.
All wines were judged by price category, ranging from inexpensive through
moderate to premium or super-premium prices. Each wine is judged against
others of its type and also against its price peers. Consumers are informed
as to best wines in each price category. All judges are qualified
professionals and wines were judged "double-blind," that is, the judges not
only do not know the identity of the wines they are tasting, neither do
they have a list of entered wines, which might enable them to guess the
wines' identities.
About the Jerry D. Mead New World International Wine Competition
Jerry D. Mead's New World International Wine Competition was established in
1990. Mr. Mead was a well known and syndicated wine columnist, publisher,
and consultant. He was also founder of the world's largest California-only
wine competition, the Orange County Fair Commercial Wine Competition. It
was his desire to establish a wine competition that, for the first time in
America and perhaps the world, pit the best wines from each price class
against each other, resulting in a Best of Variety award. Further he wished
to offer Bronze, Silver and Gold Medals for excellence, and also sponsored
trophies to recognize "Best of Class" and "Best of Show."
The Competition is open to wines produced anywhere in the "New World,"
including all of North America, Central America, and South America,
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, and all varietals, generic and
proprietary wines grown in those regions and made from traditional grapes
or other fruits and/or berries.
