Judgment of Paris Rematch
California vs. France Vintage Dinner

In 1976, a legendary tasting took place in Paris, with California beating out the top wines of Burgundy and Bordeaux. We will restage this famous tasting with updated vintages and special guests, including the director of Bottle Shock. This new film about the Paris event is fresh from its critically acclaimed Sundance Film Festival premier. Our tasting, catered by Pamplemousse Grille and staged at the Museum, is sure to sell out fast.
