TOKYO WINE SOCIETY TASTING

California Red Wines from Wineries in the 1976 Judgment of Paris

August 1, 2014

We tasted red wines from California wineries participated in the famous French vs California Wine Tasting of 1976, known as the Judgment of Paris.
These winemakers have placed Napa Valley firmly on the global map of wine production, and are still out there making great wines.
We had 6 bottles of red from each winery and praised the courage to challenge Bordeaux, and efforts to go even beyond. (Wine List)

Brasserie Paul Bocuse Daimaru Tokyo
