Early next year, The Wine Merchant will once again be teaming up with the California Wine Institute to publish the California Collection supplement.

It will feature dozens of wines that our panel of independent merchants have chosen as their favourites, from a selection of entries submitted by UK importers.

If you import California wines of any type and on any scale, make sure those wines are represented. It costs nothing to get involved: all we ask is that the wines are firmly aimed at indies and the premium on-trade, not the mults.

We need four bottles of each wine, as once again the judging will be taking place remotely. You can enter as many wines as you like.

Please email claire@winemerchantmag.com for details of where to send your wines. The deadline for entries will be the middle of December.
