Rolling Bay Winery’s 2012 Chardonnay Reserve wowed the judges and won a gold medal at the 2014 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

This is the second year that Rolling Bay Winery has ventured in California’s wine territory and the second time the Bainbridge winery has earned a gold medal. Last year it was for their 2010 Manitou Red.

The competition is the largest of American wines in the world, and this year drew 5,825 entries from across the U.S. This year, 65 experienced judges from across the country evaluated particular varietals in a range of specific retail price points.

The winery is located in Rolling Bay on the east side of the island and the tasting room is open by appointment or on the island wide winery tours held throughout the year.
