Christina Sandridge, VWA Executive Director, said the award is named after the late David King, who founded King Family Vineyards in Crozet. King is known as a strong advocate for the Virginia Wine industry who championed the 2007 Virginia Farm Winery Act as well as the creation of the Virginia Winery Distribution Company, which provides wholesale wine distribution services for local farm wineries and expands their customer base.

City Vino, a wine shop in downtown Fredericksburg, recently moved from its original location at 810 Caroline Street to a new space in Hanover House.
City Vino's journey began long before its doors first opened. The Allans, who moved to Virginia 25 years ago, were introduced to the world of wine by friends from their church. Owner Rita Allan said their initial interest grew over the years with regular Thursday “Date Night” wine tastings at Wegmans. The Allans connected with other Wegmans regulars who led them to the Fredericksburg Wine Society and the King George Wine Society, part of the American Wine Society (AWS).
