BUBBLE SHOCK - Nov 17

A Blind Sparkling Wine Showdown

FRANCE × AMERICA × BRITAIN

Fifty years after the legendary Judgment of Paris, it’s time to shake things up.

Join us for Bubble Shock—a sparkling-wine twist on the tasting that changed the wine world forever.

This time, France, the United States, and Britain go head-to-head in a blind tasting of exceptional sparkling wines, served alongside an inspired—and decidedly untraditional—partner:

JIDORI FRIED CHICKEN

Think serious bubbles, seriously good Jidori fried chicken, and absolutely no pretense—proof that a great bottle doesn’t always need a white tablecloth.

Taste blind. Pick your favorites. Then watch as the bottles are revealed and see which country comes out on top.

A TOAST TO STEVEN SPURRIER

We’ll raise a special glass to Steven Spurrier, the visionary behind the historic 1976 Judgment of Paris, with a rare opportunity to taste Bride Valley Vineyard, Bella, Rosé, 2014—from an exceptional vintage for English sparkling wine and named in honor of his wife, Bella.

A fitting toast to the man who brought France and America together in the glass in 1976—this time, with Britain at the table.

THREE COUNTRIES. GREAT BUBBLES. SERIOUSLY GOOD CHICKEN.

NO LABELS. NO PRECONCEPTIONS.

Will France defend its sparkling-wine crown—or is another Bubble Shock coming?
