The Judgement of Paris 2 Pack!
The Judgement of Paris is a tale from Greek Mythology. Peleus and Thetis were married, and all the Gods and Goddesses were invited except for Eris – the Goddess of Discord. Eris was so miffed at this snub that she showed up anyway, got drunk on Retsina and left behind a gift – a Golden Apple that she dedicated to “the fairest”. The goddesses Aphrodite, Hera and Athena all demanded the apple for themselves and good ol’ Zeus let the poor mortal Paris decide who got the apple. Not an easy decision for anyone to make and it ultimately lead to the Trojan War.
Oh…wait a minute…we’re talking about a different Judgement of Paris.
The Judgment of Paris Revisited
When asked to choose his holiday picks this year, Rick decided on an unusual concept. His idea? To revisit the famous “Judgment of Paris” from 1976, where California wines decidedly beat their French counterparts changing the wine world forever. We are offering two wines, one Californian and one French and let you decide the winner for yourself.
The first is Chateau Montelena’s 2000 “Estate” Cabernet Sauvignon. The French wine is the 2000 Sociando Mallet from the Haut Medoc. The two bottle set is only $129.99. (Regularly both wines together would be $169.99)
