Judgment of Paris
On October 11th, Amalthea Cellars shocked the wine world in a blind tasting that was inspired by the original 1976 Paris wine tasting. Mr. Phillips of MedpowerUSA exclaimed “Chateau Mouton-Rothschild and Stag’s Leap Cabernet, both at the 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting that gave the upset to California, were trounced by New Jersey (Amalthea Cellars) in a stunning upset last night.” Our winemaker remarked “there have been no changes in our commitment for 25 years, it’s just that the world is finding us out.” (click here for full article)
