Wines from around the world poured into the Indiana State Fairgrounds Blue Ribbon Pavilion for the fifteenth annual Indy International Wine Competition, July 27 to 29.

The largest wine competition in the US, the Indy International brought in over 3,800 wines from 17 countries. The Indy is also the second largest amateur competition in the country and holds the distinction of largest fruit wine competition.

Wines can be awarded a gold, silver, bronze or no medal. The very best wines are awarded concordance gold, earning the right to compete for the best of show.
