In 1990, Sutter Home set out on a mission to pair their wines with America’s favorite food – the burger, and uncorked the wine industry’s first major recipe contest: Build a Better Burger®.  

Their expert panel of judges will review and select the top four competitors in each of the five regions.  These Semi-Finalists will each participate in a live cook-off event and the winners will go on to compete at the National Finals at the beautiful Sutter Home Winery in Napa Valley, California.

Burgers will be scored on Taste, Creativity, Ease of Preparation & Wine Pairing, and the Grand-Prize Winner will take home a $25,000 cash prize.
