For the second time, Galen Glen Winery has been invited to participate in The Six Nations Wine Challenge.

Six Nations is like the Olympics of wine, with only 100 wines representing each of the six nations participating in the competition in Australia.The countries involved are Australia, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, New Zealand and the United States.Six Nations was founded as Tri-Nations in 2003. The original countries were Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. In 2010 Chile and Argentina were added. The United States was first included in 2013 and Galen Glen was invited to represent the U.S. that inaugural year.This is recognized as the only competition in the world where the entrants come from an invitation by the judge of each nation.The Troxells are known for farming wine. About 90 percent of all grapes used in Galen Glen's wines are grown on their family's historic farm.When asked about having not just one but two wines representing her country, Sarah Troxell, winemaker said, "We are honored to be invited for the second time to represent the United States by Six Nations and 'team captain,' Dan Berger. Previously, only one wine was selected; this time two of our Gruner Veltliners will participate."Troxell was named "Best Woman Winemaker" in 2014's International Women's Wine Competition in California.In May, they won Double Gold, Chairman's Award (a unanimous gold vote) and for the 2014 Stone Cellar Reserve Grüner Veltliner Best in Class at the Riverside International Competition in California.In addition to the aforementioned medals, the following wines also won: 2013 Stone Cellar Riesling, Silver and Stone Cellar Grüner Veltliner, Silver.For more information about the winery visit
