HARRISONBURG — A CrossKeys Vineyards wine was announced Tuesday night as one of state’s 12 best wines in the 2018 Virginia Wineries Association Governor’s Cup Virginia Wine Competition Cup.

The Cross Keys winery’s Ali d’Oro dessert wine was one of the 12 top-scoring wines in the competition, a group that forms the Governor’s Cup Case. Wine included in the case is used to help market Virginia wines, including being presented by Gov. Ralph Northam on marketing missions on behalf of the industry.

Crozet winery King Family Vineyards took top honors, the Governor’s Cup, for its 2014 Meritage.

The competition was conducted over four weeks in January and February, with the top wines announced during a gala in Richmond. One hundred Virginia wineries entered 442 wines in the competition.
