Bordeaux vs Napa Valley - Semi-Blind tasting

If ever there was a wine-themed Cinderella story, it would have to be the Paris Judgment in 1976. What, originally was a fairly low-profile tasting organized in Paris, ended up rocking the wine world. California took on the best of Bordeaux and Burgundy and won on both battlegrounds; taking first places (both red & white categories) were wines from Napa.

That was a landmark event for the California wine industry and was a turning point for the Napa Valley. The rest is history...

Will history repeat itself? Or will it take another surprising twist?

Be the one to re-write it and taste 10 bottles of amazing wines from Bordeaux and Napa in semi-blind (wine labels will be hidden during the tasting). Join our chief sommelier, Mathieu Pouchan, for the new judgment at bordeaux etc.
