France vs New World (The Judgement of Shrewsbury!)

In 1976 Stephen Spurrier MW set up a "blind tasting" of some of the best wines of France and their equivalents from California. To everyone's surprise (and in the case of some French critics) shock, the Americans did rather better than expected and came first in both the white (Chardonnay) and red (Bordeaux blend) categories.

This event has gone down in wine folklore as "The judgement of Paris".

Join us for at fantastic evening looking at 4 classic French wines from Burgundy, Bordeaux and the Loire and comparing them with similar wines from the New World as we recreate the “Judgment of Paris”!
