“This year marks the second year that our Tinhorn Creek wines have been endorsed by Wine Enthusiast and we are proud to receive these superb scores from an acclaimed US wine publication”, says President and CEO Sandra Oldfield. “It is an honour that our 2014 Gewurztraminer also won Editor’s Choice and was recognized as a ‘standout among Tinhorn Creek’s wide-ranging portfolio’. These ratings reflect the tireless dedication of the entire team at Tinhorn Creek Vineyards.”
