Entries are in and judging in the NSW Small Winemakers Wine Show is just days away from commencing.
The 32nd annual show has this year attracted 585 entries from 99 wineries, from all across the State.
Alistair Lunn, chief steward from the committee, said every wine region in NSW was represented by those entries.
"The quality again looks fantastic," he said.
"We're really looking forward to hearing what the judges have got to say."
The judging panel will again be led by Mark Richardson, head winemaker at Tyrrells in the Hunter Valley.
A team of 13 judges will work in three panels to taste the wines across three big days.
"We really value our role in supporting wine makers in understanding how their wines stack up against their peers," Mr Lunn said.
This unique show provides a stage for the smaller winemakers to compete against their peers across the state.
The organisation is not for profit, and has continued its support of Havannah House, presenting a cheque for $1000 to Julie Virtue as they launched this year's event.
Havannah House is a local, volunteer-run organisation that offers emergency accommodation and support to people in crisis.
They also run incredible events such as our free community Christmas lunch.
