On the way to Redding , CA we happen to drive through #napavalley Wine tasting at #ChateauMontelena, which is a Napa Valley winery most famous for winning the white wine section of the historic "Judgment of Paris" wine competition. Chateau Montelena's Chardonnay was in competition with nine other wines from France and California under blind tasting. All 11 judges awarded their top scores to either the Chardonnays from Chateau Montelena or Chalone Winery, another California wine producer. So this is the bottle that put California wine into world map.
