The Atlantic Seabord Wine Association
 
The Atlantic Seaboard Wine Association’s mission is to increase awareness of the fine wines of the Atlantic seaboard through trade and consumer education. We liaise with national, state, and regional wine organizations to highlight the wines and winemakers working here. Each year a competition is held to identify award-worthy wines from the seventeen eastern states: all those that touch the Atlantic Ocean plus West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Vermont. A national panel of nineteen judges scored over 400 wines in 2022 with the resulting winners to be featured in our 2023 outreach programs.

Chateau Merrillane: MRS. WHITE GOES TO WASHINGTON! On Wednesday we were invited to the Congressional Wine Caucus reception in Washington DC. At that event the overall winner and the winners of "Best of Category" of the 2022 Atlantic Seaboard Wine Competition were honored. In a competition featuring 17 east coast states, Virginias Cross Keys was the overall winner, while HALF of the "Best of Categories" were won by Virginia wineries including two of our winery "neighbors", Fifty-Third Winery and Vineyards for their Viognier and Potomac Point Vineyards and Winery for their Norton. Chateau Merrillanne won "Best of Category" for our Chardonnay Reserve. Thanks Michael and Mike and thanks Dave, Grant and ASWA for your endless promotion of all east coast wines. In a competition once dominated by wineries from the Finger Lakes you can really see Virginia coming into its own. We are so proud to be a small part of the Virginia wine industry. Cheers, peace and good health.....and Drink Virginia Wine!!!
