50 years ago, at the historic Judgment of Paris, the world of wine was changed forever. At the forefront of that revolution stood Miljenko ‘Mike’ Grgich, the winemaker behind the famous 1973 Chardonnay that beat the very best wines of France for the first time in history. You’re invited to join Grgich Hills Estate President Violet Grgich and veteran winemaker Ivo Jeramaz as you're guided on a tasting journey through the decades, to learn more about the varietal that gave rise to Grgich Hills Estate.


A curated selection of Chardonnays past and present will be showcased, including rare library vintages unattainable elsewhere. Attendees also have the distinct privilege of being among the first to taste a brand-new release: our 2023 Paris ’76 Chardonnay, a 97-point masterwork described by Lisa Perrotti-Brown as “Elegant and beautifully poised, yet with intense zesty and savory layers… Absolutely stunning!”
