Before boarding my flight yesterday, I bought "The Judgement of
Paris", an interesting account of the birth of great modern
wines in California centered on the famous blind tasting of
French and California wines of 1976. It seems to me that we need
a lot more blind tastings even if Casanova de..... probably is
very good indeed!
