Two countries, two traditions, one unforgettable tasting — let the rivalry begin.

When it comes to wine, France is a global titan. Home to some of the world's greatest cuisine and wines, it's hard to challenge its rightful place atop the culinary throne...but not impossible. The USA is more than ready to take on the challenge! With a world-class wine culture and some of the most exciting producers in the industry, the Stars & Stripes are gunning for the crown, and you're invited. 

At this seated, premier event, you'll be treated to round after round of amazing French wines, pitted against their American counterparts. You'll sip and learn all about what makes these so special, then vote for your favorites. There's a catch, however - you won't know which is which until after you've cast your ballot. 

Each round will feature an array of cheeses, charcuterie, and prepared regional specialties that showcase why each region is so special. It's sure to be an evening of dining, drinking, and robust competition.

Celebrate the United States' 250th anniversary in the tastiest way possible. It's Bordeaux versus Napa Valley! Bruce Springsteen versus French technopop! The Red, White and Blue versus...the Red, White, and Blue!
