More than 50 Michigan wineries took medals in the 2020 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition (FLIWC), held July 18 and 19.
One of America’s largest charitable wine competitions in the U.S., the competition attracts thousands of internationally crafted wine and spirit entries. Masters of wine, master sommeliers, wine educators, wine journalists, winemakers and other top internationally certified wine judges from around the world gather in Rochester, N.Y., each year for two days of blind judging.
Proceeds from the competition and subsequent events benefit Camp Good Days and Special Times, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for children and families all over the world, whose lives have been touched by cancer and other life-threatening challenges. Located in the heart of New York State’s Finger Lakes wine country, the camp offers residential programs, year-round activities and events for adults and children.
The Finger Lakes International Wine Competition is also managed by Camp Good Days and Special Times.
