A. Guy Design wine entered in international competition

The "7" Port style Virginia wine, created by winemaker Matthieu Finot for King Family Vineyards and designed by A. Guy Studio, has been entered in the 2009 Lodi International Wine Awards.

This prestigious, world-wide wine competition, based in California, is judged by many well known vintners and premium goods designers, whose credentials can be viewed here:  http://www.lodiwineawards.com/judges.aspx

King Family Vineyards is active in the Virginia polo community and "7" refers to the "7th chukkar"-chukkar is a period in a polo match.  Polo has 6 chukkars and the "7th chukkar" is reserved for after match relaxation and enjoyment.

The name is also a reference to the exclusive 7 Society of the University of Virginia.  The King Family is a big supporter of U.V.A. and also has connections to the 7 Society, therefore, this product pays tribute to both institutions.
