This paper examines price and quality in the California wine industry using medals won in nine tasting events in 1995 as indexes of quality.  For each tasting event, there were four possible medals:  double gold, gold, silver, and bronze.  Using stepwise least squares regression analysis, we estimate hedonic price functions for the 1884 wines in our sample treating quality as exogenous to price.  We also look at results for some wine types, including chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon.  The results are largely as expected. The San Francisco Wine Competition appears to be the best predictor of quality with the Orange County and Sacramento (California State Fair) competitions the second best predictors of quality.
