Napa— ON a spring afternoon in 1976, Stephen Spurrier, the English owner of a Parisian wine shop, and his partner, wine educator Patricia Gallagher (now known as Gastaud-Gallagher), staged an informal wine tasting in Paris for French wine experts in which upstart California wineries were pitted against the great domaines and chateaux of France. In a stunning turn of events, the California wines fetched the highest scores, besting their famous French counterparts. The tasting became known as the Judgment of Paris, and sent shock waves throughout the wine world. Last week, to commemorate the event, wine critics from England, the U.S. and France gathered in panels chaired by Spurrier at the headquarters of London wine merchant Berry Bros. & Rudd, and by Gastaud-Gallagher at Copia (the American Center for Food, Wine and the Arts) in Napa to taste those same red wines from the early ‘70s and find out which, if any, held up. Neither Spurrier nor Gastaud-Gallagher expected the attention -- or in the case of France, the derision -- that the original event generated. And when it came to the reenactment, Gastaud-Gallagher wasn’t certain that the wines, some now 37 years old, would show well. “I was thinking, ‘Will this be a celebration or a bitter moment?’ ” she said. “But when we pulled the corks, we found the wines to be very much alive, and thought, ‘Yes, this will be interesting, there may be surprises.’ ” And for the second time, California wines recorded a stunning upset: Ridg...

The first Spanish missionaries arrived in California in the 1700s, but California didn't become a U.S. territory until 1847, as part of the treaty ending the Mexican-American War. Shortly thereafter, the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848 inspired a wave of settlers to head to the west coast in search of fortune. In 1850 California became the 31st state, and is now the third largest state behind Alaska and Texas. 16th Century California History Timeline 1510 - California is first used in a romance novel published in Spain 1510 and written by Garcia Ordonez de Montalvo, the translator of the Amadis de Gaul, and called Las Sergas de Esplandián, or "Adventures of Esplandian". 1533 - Two ships make their way northward from Tehuantepec and land at the very tip of Baja California at La Paz Harbor. Local residents kill 20 of the landing party and the ships retreat. For details of the early explorers, 1535 - Hernando Cortes leads a return expedition to La Paz and plants a small colony there. It fails after a couple of years and the settlers return to the mainland. 1539 - Francisco de Ulloa explores the gulf of California; he also rounds the tip of Baja and explores up its western coast. 1540 - Antonio de Mendoza, Viceroy of New Spain, sends a second sea expedition under Hernando de Alarcon up the Gulf of California where they enter the mouth of the Colorado River and become the first Europeans to stand on California soil. 1542 - The Portuguese-born sailor, Juan Rodrigue...

With nearly 200 of the United States' top wines gathered in one room, Wine Spectator's two evening Grand Tastings each drew more than 1,800 people from across the country and as far away as Australia--all there with the intent to sample as many collectible and hard-to-obtain offerings as possible. The lure of the wines was so great that on Friday evening, startled attendees looked up from their glasses to find a Hollywood action star and the country's hottest TV chef shaking hands in the middle of an aisle of limited-production Pinot Noirs. In a show of support for his state's wineries, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger paid an unannounced visit to this year's California Wine Experience, held in San Francisco from Oct. 19-21. Taking a tour of the Friday Grand Tasting with Wine Spectator editor and publisher Marvin R. Shanken, the Terminator star and wine lover chatted with Paul Draper of Ridge Vineyards and Bill Harlan of Harlan Estate before tasting a range of Cabernets, Pinots and Syrahs, then running into celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse, whose food has even been served in outer space. Schwarzenegger wasn't the only one turning heads that weekend. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, whose charm, style and good looks helped earn him a Vanity Fair spread and a spot on Esquire's best-dressed list, drew his share of admiration at the Grand Awards Banquet, where he was presented with Wine Spectator's Distinguished Service Award. Though the mayor has made a national name f...
