Wine Cru Wednesday – Today is an apt time to talk about “The judgement of Paris”. Not the event in Greek mythology but a wine tasting event held 47 years ago today, 24th May.
The late Steen Spurrier, who ran a wine shop in Paris at the time, organised a blind tasting of Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon wines from California and France.
All the tasters were respected members of the French wine trade, bar one – an American living in Paris, in one way or another. Critics, restauranteurs, chefs, winery owners, and sommeliers.
