Join us in for a wine tasting and class centered around the Judgement of Paris of 1976 with a blind tasting to recreate the competition!

The Judgement of Paris in 1976 was a blind tasting of Californai wines and French Wines set up as a competition to showcase the supremecy of French wines. To the shock of the world, California swept the competition away! Let's check to see if this holds up in the modern wine culture by comparing some of our favorite California wines with some of our favorite French wines!

Join us for a casual seated wine class where we will discuss the history of the Judgement of Paris and recreate it with modern wines from California and France at Josephine!

Included with your ticket:

  • Seated wine class with Josephine sommelier Kate Miller
  • Blind tasting of three French wines against three American wines
  • Small serving of artisanal cheese
  • Discounts on bottle purchases of all wines tasted
