Wine Tasting 2008: California vs. France

On June 7, 1976, the unthinkable happened. At the Academie du Vin, a little known California winery beat out well-known French labels in a blind tasting. The moment is memorialized in the upcoming movie Bottle Shock, produced by Saybrook Alum, Marc Lhormer, and hailed as the new Sideways. See the trailer at http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/bottleshock/trailer/

Come and sample the French and Californian wines especially paired for you by sommelier Debbie Ribar (Houston Wine Merchant). Can you pick out the best from the worst? Does the young spirit of California speak to your soul or is the elegance of Bordeux beyond compare? Help kick off an exciting 2008-2009 season with-- Bottle Shock II.
