Judgment of Napa 2026
A Celebration of the Historic 1976 Judgment of Paris
Fifty years ago, a single blind tasting changed the world of wine forever.
On May 24, 1976, eleven California wines stunned the wine establishment when they outscored France's most celebrated Bordeaux and Burgundies in the now legendary Judgment of Paris. The unexpected victory of Napa Valley's Chateau Montelena Chardonnay and Stag's Leap Wine Cellars S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon forever altered the course of American winemaking and established California as one of the world's premier wine regions.
Join us as we commemorate this landmark anniversary with Judgment of Napa 2026, an unforgettable evening celebrating the wines that made history.
Our resident wine experts, Kevin Decker – Wine Concierge and Max McCalman - Maître Fromager, will guide guests through current vintages from several of the iconic wineries featured in the original tasting, exploring the legacy, diversity, and world-class quality of Napa Valley wines. Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy chef-curated lite bites thoughtfully paired with each selection.
Whether you're a longtime collector or simply love discovering exceptional wines, this promises to be an educational, entertaining, and memorable tasting experience.
