Special guest Violet Grgich
Join Violet Grgich of Grgich Hills Estate at the Royal Palms Hotel for an unforgettable evening of amazing food and wine pairings to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Judgment of Paris.
It was the Chardonnay that Miljenko "Mike" Grgich crafted for Chateau Montelena that won the famous Judgment of Paris Tasting in 1976. This momentous verdict, where two Napa Valley wines took first place in a blind tasting beating the best of France, placed Napa Valley on the global wine map and, thus, set the bar for Chardonnay in Napa Valley. Mike Grgich, along with Austin Hills, opened Grgich Hills Estate the following year, and will celebrate the winery's 40th anniversary next July.
The event takes place Thursday, October 13, 2016 at 5:30 pm. Space is limited! Please call (602) 840-3610 for reservations.
