Yoko Kamiya is the winner of the 2014 Venciador
competition in Japan.
120 Japanese professionals entered the competition and were soon whittled down
to 62, who were in turn whittled down to 8 finalists in a competition sponsored
by the Consejo to promote Sherry generically in export markets. Yoko is
now a “Venenciadora Oficial del Vino de Jerez”.
