The Halekulani Wine Tasting of 2000 was organized by Artisans & Estates at the Halekulani Hotel in Hawaii. Sixty wine experts from Honolulu evaluated 17 wines "double blind." That is, neither the tasters nor the servers knew the identity of the wines being evaluated.

The highest scoring wine was 1996 Kendall-Jackson "Cardinale," a Cabernet Sauvignon blend. In second place was 1995 Opus One, while third place was won by 1996 Château Lafite-Rothschild. Among the winners, there was an inverse relationship between rank and cost.

The wines evaluated are listed below alphabetically:

The above wine competitions are unique and highly significant because (1) all tasting was done blind and (2) the results were listed in rank order from highest to lowest. For example, if twelve wines were evaluated, they were ranked from one (the highest) to 12 (the lowest). There were no multiple winners except in the case of multiple categories (for example one red wine winner and one white wine winner).
