The 1976 Judgment of Paris was a historic wine competition that pitted upstart California wines against some of the best wines of France, a country with a long-held reputation for winemaking supremacy. The shocking results of the competition propelled American wine onto the international stage, which defined a turning point in California history and the U.S. wine industry. Wine educator Matilda Parente probes the drama, intrigue and historic figures behind this milestone event and its aftermath, which reshaped American cultural and economic history, along with the world of wine.


In-person lecture will be presented through The Continuing Education Center at Rancho Bernardo at Pacifica Senior Living of Poway with online only registration available through San Diego Oasis, class 1488.
