Sat. May 23 – Judgement of Paris 50th anniversary
California vs. France
The original blind tasting was organized by British wine merchant Steven Spurrier and was held on May 24, 1976. There were ten Chardonnays and ten Bordeaux/CA cabernet wines – five from each country.
To the surprise of many, especially some of the judges, the California wines came out on top and the wine world has not been the same since.
As this is the 50th anniversary, we decided to pull out all of the stops and feature current vintages of four of the actual wines that were tasted during the event and, no surprise, essentially all four of them have become icons and/or unicorns in their own right since that time.
Please join us for this fun tasting and, this time around, you can be the judge whether California or France wins!
Closed Sundays.
