Cal Poly Pomona Wine Wins Second Gold Medal
Cal Poly Pomona’s Horsehill Vineyards 2009 Rose won a gold medal for the second year in a row at the 71st annual Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition.
Cal Poly may not have the cultural cachet of the Napa Valley or the romantic appeal of the Burgundy region of France, but it proved its Horsehill Vineyards can produce wine with the best of them at the 70th Annual Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition.
Horsehill Vineyards’ two wines received four awards, including gold, at the competition, which was held at the Fairplex in Pomona.
The Zinfandel Rosé swept its category, receiving the gold, best of class and best of division for pink, blush and rose wines. The Zinfandel won a bronze medal for limited production wines.
The awards were especially notable because these were the first wines that Cal Poly has produced.
