Welcome to the 2012 competition, our 28th year. You are invited to enter your wines for evaluation by our prestigious panel of judges, among the best tasters in the world.

Watch ten video interviews with judges during the 2011 competition. Each judge talks about a wine that they just awarded a medal. At the time of the interview they did not know the specific wine they awarded. Read the article to see the names of the wines.

Dallas Morning News staff artist, Michael Hogue, shares his behind-the-scenes impressions of the event. Reprinted from the Dallas Morning News Salut! special edition on March 25, 2011.
