Boutique winery Hunt Cellars was recently honored by Food and Beverage World’s California Bordeaux competition for its varietal wine quality and taste.

The Paso Robles-based winery was awarded Best White: Hunt Cellars 2009 Sauvignon Blanc "Starlight Concerto", Best Cabernet Franc: Hunt Cellars 2006 Cabernet Franc "Opulence", and Best Merlot: Hunt Cellars 2007 “Unforgettable” Merlot. Additionally, Hunt Cellar tied for Best Cabernet Sauvignon: 2007 "Cabovation" with Alpha Omega and came in second place with the Meritage Blend: 2006 "Rhapsody In Red." David Hunt is the owner of the 20-year winery.

“I knew the 2009 Sauvignon Blanc was good, but did not know how good the competition was, so I was grateful to have won "Best White Wine," said David Hunt. Mr Hunt also stated that he was absolutely amazed and honored to have won in these categories against more than 60 of California's top wineries from Paso Robles, Napa, Sonoma, Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez, Lake County, Monterey and others.
