Judgement of Paris with Sir Peter Michael, Steven Spurrier and Gary Myatt

Judgement of Paris video.In 1976, in small room in a Paris hotel, a strange thing happened.
Something that changed a centuries-old status quo and rocked the 'civilised' world to it's roots.
In a blind tasting with some of the leading French wine aficionados of the day, Californian wines were chosen over France's very best. Big names were knocked right out of the park in a comprehensive whooping.

I came here because of the youtube channel Today I Found Out just covered this in the episiod The Wine Lover Meltdown.

Fascinating, well produced video. If you’re interested in similar subject matter see the movie sour grapes.

[@maxasaurus3008]

Agreed!

Bottleshock with Bill Pullman, Chris Pine, and others sent me here to find out what really went on.

Fun movie, but also disappointing. Seemed like a huge missed opportunity to document a fascinating and highly consequential event. So much more could have been said about the reactions, both the immediate opinions and, if only as suggestion, how the event was to affect the wine industry.

What’s with the video manipulation? Steve’s mouth has been doctored, why?

[@MysteryStew5977]

it's not doctored. It's out of sync

What a joke putting Peter Michael in the painting. He was not there and had nothing to do with it. It totally spoils a great piece of artwork.

[@Koldeman]

I suppose that's historically true, but Sir Michael commissioned the painting & it is on display at his vineyard. I believe Sir Michael played a hand in organizing the 2006 rematch with Spurrier.
