Winners of Connecticut Specialty Food Awards and where to get these delicious products.
Each year the Connecticut Specialty Food Association honors entrepreneurs that produce specialty foods in Connecticut.

A panel of 20 judges from local media personalities to chefs and food writers are assigned to review certain food categories.
This year Fairfield County and Litchfield Hills won many accolades and awards in most of the categories including Sunset Meadow Vineyards in Goshen being awarded the 2013 Wine Product of the Year.
