About the movie

In this episode of The Swirled Cup, Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson shows us how a generation of visionaries ignited one of the most pivotal periods in U.S. wine history: the unexpected performance of their wines at the famous 1976 Judgment of Paris. Witnesses to that moment explain how this event elevated wine quality worldwide and inspired regions, producers, chefs, storytellers, and travelers alike.

In the words of Andrea Robinson, the four figures behind this revolution represent the Mount Rushmore of American wine: Patricia Gallagher, Robert Mondavi, Steven Spurrier, and André Tchelistcheff.
