Whether you have a group of favorite wines that you've been drinking for years, or are just learning about these drinks and how they can be prepared with a number of meals and desserts, you'll want to learn all you can about award winning wines so that you can be sure you're purchasing nothing but the best for your family and guests. Here is some information on the beverages you may want to select, as well as some suggestions on how to pair these drinks with your favorite foods.

There are a number of festivals and competitions that showcase great beverages from that specific region and from around the world. You an learn more about these festivals when you read magazines like Food and Wine or Eating Well, but you may also find that there are local events you can attend to learn more about these beverages. International food festivals take place often in cities like Atlanta and New York, and many other cities such as Chicago and Washington, D.C. are also showcasing wines and ethnic foods from all over the world.

Award winning wines include Chapoutier, which is a 1994 Barbe Rac. This red wine is flavored with notes that include lavender and olives, and smells wonderful--the scent of black cherry will fill your nostrils each time you lift your glass. This beverage has won awards in France and the U.S. and goes great with pasta and meat dishes. Another one of the award winning wines you'll want to check out is Calon Segur, which is a 2000 red Bordeaux. The beverage is a mix of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and cabernet franc. The tastes of licorice, cassis and black cherries are present in the beverage, and you may even be able to pair it with some rich desserts. This is a vintage variety, which means that the taste has had time to develop, which makes the flavor even more savory.

If you're looking for award winning wines that are rich in tannins and have a zip to them, you may want to try Albert Bichot Pommard Domaine Pavilion clos des ursulines. The beverage in its 2005 version will be best when used through the years 2009 and 2020, and includes wonderful notes of boysenberry, cherry, and red currant.
