Best of the East Award

Two of James Arthur Vineyards wines were recently distinguished as the "Best of the East" by Vineyard and Winery Management Magazine, a national publication. The judging honors the top 50 most awarded wines East of the Rocky Mountains, based on medals awarded the past year in different wine competitions across the country. JAV’s Edelweiss and Vignoles were both honored by being poured at the "Best of the East" gala held at the 30th Anniversary of Wineries Unlimited in Lancaster, Pennsylvania this past March.
