The Judgement of Paris
In 1976 in a small room in a Paris hotel, a strange thing happened. Something that changed a centuries old status quo and rocked the "civilised" World to its roots. A cataclysm or a revolution depending on your point of view. In a blind tasting with some of the leading French wine aficionados of the day Californian wines were chosen over France's very best. Big names were knocked right out of the park. Today we will be giving you the opportunity to make your own judgement.
We love wine. We eat, sleep and drink it.
That’s why we want it to be enjoyed by everyone.
