Founded in 2004 by wine critic and journalist Robert Whitley, Critics Challenge is one of the most important and respected wine and spirits competitions in the world. Entries are judged in a double-blind format by panels of noted wine and spirits critics, bloggers and beverage journalists. Winning results are published on the competition website. Unique to this competition: Gold and Platinum awards are accompanied by the comment and score given by the individual Critic(s) that bestowed the award. Platinum-winning wines are also reviewed at WineReviewOnline.com and Platinum-winning spirits at SpiritsReviewOnline. com.
