Judgment of Paris: Judgment of Paris

A detailed account of the tasting that put Napa Valley on the map. The author provided lengthy and interesting background on the winery founders and winemakers on both sides of the ‘pond'. He also points out that this breakthrough event also provided the springboard of legitimacy for other producing areas, New Zealand, So Africa, Australia, Spain etc. A downside to the book is it has not been updated (unless I've missed a new edition)
