"...From Wine Industry Advisor<br />(May 30, 2017):<br /><br />"Napa Valley Wines Still on Top 41 Years Later;<br />Judgment of Paris Red Wine Reenactment in Tokyo, Japan "<br /><br />Link: http://www.wineindustryadvisor.com/2017/05/30/napa-wines-still-top-41-years-later<br /><br />Excerpt:<br /><br />"Over almost half a century after the original Paris Tasting, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons have continued to hold top positions in repeat tastings around the world. Following the 1976 Paris Tasting, where Warren’s Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars won the red wine category with its 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon, the tasting was held informally several times again in the late 1970s. In 1986 for the 10th Anniversary it was conducted at the French Culinary Institute in New York City. In 2006 for the 30th Anniversary it was held simultaneously in London and at Copia in Napa Valley. Each time and with different judges, Napa Valley wines have been judged better than their French peers and continuously come in top placements.<br /><br />"The latest retasting of the same red wines and original vintages, was in Tokyo, judged by two American, two French and five Japanese wine and food professionals, for an exact replica of the original Paris tasting judged on the 20 point scale. At the conclusion of the tasting, in first place was Freemark Abbey 1969 Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by Mayacamas 1971 Cabernet Sauvignon and Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1970 in third place."<br /><br />[See exhibit labeled "Judgment of Paris in Tokyo, May 2017, Final Results"]<br /><br /><br />Bob Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02089688073031173053noreply@blogger.com
