Judgment of Paris by George Taber A few decades ago it would have been absurd to suggest that a California wine could match the quality of a French wine. But in May of 1976 the wine world was changed forever due to the now famous Paris blind tasting. Nine French judges choose a California Red and White wine above its leading French contenders. A new book, Judgement of Paris, by the only report who was there recalls the history of California wine making and how it beat out the French in their own living room! |

Too often we end up buying the same Merlot, Cabernet, or Chardonnay because we don't have the confidence to try something different. Enter Andy Besch -- the Wine Guy. |
