Event Description

It’s now nearly 50 years since a Californian Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon ‘beat’ their French counterparts in a famous blind tasting, which became known as the Judgment of Paris. Ever since, it’s been clear that the state’s top wines can stand proudly against competitors from anywhere in the world – the only shame is that so few of them ever make it to these shores.

But now’s your chance to see just how good the wines of Napa, Sonoma and other California regions can be. The line-up is still to be finalised, but it will include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel and at least a couple of Cabernet Sauvignons. Seven of the eight wines we’ll be tasting will have an average price well in excess of £25 per bottle, while the eighth one is a renowned Cabernet with a £100+ price tag.

It’s a great opportunity to sample some great and rare wines, and we’re looking forward to welcoming you for what should be a very special evening.
