REVIEWS OF JUDGMENT OF PARIS "Judgment of Paris is one of the best books on California wine I've read." James Laube Wine Spectator "Anyone interested in wine will find Judgment of Paris a fascinating read." T. J. Foderaro Newark Star-Ledger "Taber has an engaging, authoritative style free of wine-world gibberish and the usual gushing over such potentates as Robert Mondavi and Philippe de Rothschild. John Martini Bloomberg "As has been retold countless times, most recently in George M. Taber's engrossing Judgment of Paris: California vs. France and the Historic 1976 Paris Tasting that Revolutionized Wine, the judges were thoroughly deluded by their conviction that only French wines were capable of rapturous effect. California's reputation for wine, as far as they were concerned, was somewhere south of Sicily." Eric Asimov New York Times "A sprightly and definitive account [of the Paris Tasting] in a new book Judgment of Paris by the American writer George M. Taber, the only journalist who was there. Jerry Adler Newsweek "It was the most famous organized wine-tasting of all time, the moment when American wines beat out their supposedly better French rivals in a bland tasting by French judges... There is a big payoff in Taber's research, and especially his felicitous writing style." Orley Ashenfelter Barron's "It's a great tale, well told. This book would make a good-enough gift for a snob, but it's really meant for friends who appreciate a bottle shared in good company more than prestige labels." Ralph Peters New York Post "One book, more than others, is both a great read and wonderfully informative. It is George Taber's Judgment of Paris. No book in recent memory has generated more positive comment in the wine media than this involving tome, and certainly no book has caused my fellow writers more joy."
