Bill Madigan's Judgement of Paris

Event Details

Inspired by the historic 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting, this interactive blind tasting invites guests to compare classic wine varieties from two of the world's most influential wine regions: France and California.Through a series of side-by-side tastings, you'll evaluate comparable wines, including varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, without knowing which glass comes from which region. Guided by clear judging criteria, participants will assess each wine's aromas, flavors, structure and overall impression before casting their vote. Along the way, you'll learn about the history of the original Judgment of Paris, the characteristics that define these regions and how terroir, climate and winemaking traditions influence each wine. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply curious to test your palate, this class offers a fun and engaging opportunity to become the judge.
