Upcoming Events at Perry's Steakhouse & Grille
Description
A Flight from the Winning Wineries of the 1976 Paris Tasting and 1986 Re-Tasting Three 2-Ounce Pours for $34
Event Details
In May 1976, English wine merchant Steven Spurrier arranged a blind tasting in Paris to compare California wines from Napa Valley to French wines. The tasting panel was comprised of sommeliers from the top restaurants in Paris and the surprising results - the California wines won - had a revolutionary effect on the world’s view of California wines. A re-tasting was held on the 10th anniversary and the California wines won again.
To start the New Year, Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille (5 Oakbrook Center, Oak Brook, IL 60523; 630- 571-1808) is taking flight with their offering, The Judgment of Paris, featuring three 2-ounce pours of these fabulous award-winning California wines. The Judgement of Paris ($34), available now through Feb. 29, excluding Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, includes: 2016 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay, Napa Valley; 2015 Clos de Val Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, and 2017 Stag’s Leap Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley,

1976 Judgment of Paris tasting
Honeysuckle, jasmine and apple blossom, along with wispy notes of

Chateau Montelena’s Napa Chardonnay showed that the New World could create balanced and complex wines in its own voice, and that the results could equal anything made the world over. Montelena has never changed in its philosophy of bringing the sunshine of California in a style that is structured, balanced and age worthy. In 1976, in what is now memorialized as “The Judgment of Paris,” Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Chardonnay was the top-ranking wine against four white Burgundies and five other California Chardonnays in a blind tasting with a who’s-who of the French food and wine industry judging.
