The only reporter present at the mythic Paris Tasting of 1976--a blind tasting where a panel of esteemed French judges chose upstart California wines over France's best--for the first time introduces the eccentric American winemakers and records the tremendous aftershocks of this historic event that changed forever the world of wine. The Paris Tasting of 1976 will forever be remembered as the landmark event that transformed the wine industry. At this legendary contest--a blind tasting--a panel of top French wine experts shocked the industry by choosing unknown California wines over France's best. George M. Taber, the only reporter present, recounts this seminal contest and its far-reaching effects, focusing on three gifted unknowns behind the winning wines: a college lecturer, a real estate lawyer, and a Yugoslavian immigrant. With unique access to the main players and a contagious passion for his subject, Taber renders this historic event and its tremendous aftershocks--repositioning the industry and sparking a golden age for viticulture across the globe. With an eclectic cast of characters and magnificent settings, Judgment of Paris is an illuminating tale and a story of the entrepreneurial spirit of the new world conquering the old.… (mehr)

I didn't finish, but got the gist. Well done-just more information than I an interested in.

This is more than just the story of the 1976 Paris tasting. It is also a great read for wine novices, as it covers most wine-making regions and grapes used around the world, as well as the process of growing grapes and making wine, with a particular focus on the history of wine production in Napa (and California in general).

A very detailed account of wine-making in California. But it got bogged down too much in this detail for my tastes and, ultimately, I stopped reading three-quarters of the way through. ( )

What could have and should have been a compelling tale, wasn't. Taber was too much in reporter mode. This tale needed a story teller. Too bad it didn't have one. Taber made it dry and boring with too much history and too much postlude. The actual event was maybe just little more than a chapter in the book. Very disappointing. ( )
