A California-Bordeaux Taste-Off with Lisa Shara Hall
Thirty years ago, a tasting in Paris shook the established wine world. The May 24, 1976, wine tasting changed the world's view of California wines forever. The tasting was the brainchild of Steven Spurrier, an English wine merchant (now a writer and critic) who owned an innovative wine shop and adjacent wine school in the center of Paris. French wines, classified-growth red Bordeaux and white Burgundies, were pitted against California Cabernet Sauvignons and Chardonnays. The judges were French and well-chosen for their wine credentials and abilities, and the tasting was blind, with the identities of the wines concealed and the labels revealed only after the jury of nine tasters had voted its order of preference. And the unthinkable happened. California trumped Bordeaux—in Paris!
Come join Lisa for a similar blind tasting—top California gems and big-name Bordeaux beauties, side by side. You’ll taste a line-up of eight red wines. Savor them, rank them, and consider their origins. When Lisa reveals the wines, you’ll know for yourself which is best!
