"The Judgment of San Francisco" with our Member Chuck Wagner, Proprietor of Caymus Vineyards (Is there, indeed, a difference between the American palate and the European palate?)
We heard "The Judgment of Bordeaux" on October 19, 2007 at Vintners Club Tasting #1,468 held in Margaux. Much has been written about this world-class tasting by some of the most influential international wine critics who attended. Pictures of our members tasting and evaluating alongside approximately 100 of Bordeaux' top brass are at http://www.vintnersclub.com/tasting_1468_photos.html. Now, we have the rankings of the identical wines by our members in San Francisco..."The Judgment of San Francisco".
