Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Judgment of Paris

Saturday, May 8th, 2026 | 5:00 PM

This May marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic Judgment of Paris, the blind tasting that forever changed the world of wine and placed California winemaking firmly on the global stage. Join us on May 8th for an afternoon of wine, food, and spirited discussion as we celebrate this historic milestone.

The evening will begin at 5:00 PM with a welcome glass of champagne and light appetizers while we mix and mingle. Guests will be seated promptly at 5:30 PM for the tasting presentation.

We’ll begin with a flight of five white wines, followed by discussion and scoring, then continue with five reds and further conversation. Scores will be tallied to determine the evening’s winner — will California hold its crown, or will the French reclaim triumph?
