Fun wine tasting to compare Napa to French wines. Happy to work on this campaign for L’École!
Suzette's L'École | Judgment of Paris 1976—or Do We Mean Judgment of Wheaton 2026!
New wine tasting class: Thursday, July 23. This is the ultimate grudge match, and YOU are the judge! Call to reserve your ringside seat today. This event has limited seating and will sell out quickly.
In Paris on May 24, 1976, to commemorate the United States' bicentennial, some of France's foremost wine authorities conducted a blind tasting consisting of both French and Napa Valley California wines. They voted on what they deemed the best. Being a "blind" tasting they didn't know which wines were French and which were American. There were two categories in the tasting: one of top-quality Chardonnays and another of red wines (Bordeaux wines from France and Cabernet Sauvignon wines from California). To almost everyone's surprise the Napa California wines were rated best in each category!
Now, YOU can be the judge. Join us on July 23—fifty years later—to reenact this famous tasting, and we will judge for ourselves which wines WE prefer. All wines will be judged in flights, "blind" ballots collected and the votes tallied. Let's see where France and the U.S. stand today! The tasting will be accompanied by a four-course meal to celebrate the occasion.
This event has limited seating and will sell out quickly. Register by calling Suzette's at 630.462.0898.
