Firehouse Wine Cellars brought home one gold and two silvers from the recent San Francisco International Wine Competition, one of the largest and most influential wine competitions.
The downtown Rapid City winery won with all three wines it entered. The Gravier Blanc, a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc and a wine from the new Winemaker’s Collection line, received a gold medal, while the 2019 limited edition estate Marquette, The American, and the newly released 2019 Grenache Noir won silver.
“It is always exciting to see your hard work recognized by your peers,” said Adam Martinez, Firehouse Wine Cellars’ winemaker. “Our production crew is honored to have our wines medal in one of the biggest international competitions out there.”
