Mid-American Wine Competition
The 2017 Mid-American Wine Competition was held in July in Ankeny, Iowa and focused on Midwest wines. In addition to judging wines against each other, there is also a category for judging wines with specially selected food pairings. This competition is the first in the United States to offer this additional judging opportunity.
