Advance Wine Tasting – Judgment of Paris
$2980
In the 1970s, the world reckoned that fine wines only come from Europe. But a tasting changed all this, by an English wine merchant – Steven Spurrier, who organizes a tasting to compare top California Cabernets and Chardonnays with the top Chateaus from Bordeaux and Burgundy. The results shock the world, with the judges chosen California wines over the French for both the red and white flights. The tasting became known as the Judgment of Paris, and ended an era in which it was thought that fine wine came only from Europe.
