From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Claude Dubois-Millor was sales director of GaultMillau, a major French wine magazine. He served as a judge in the Paris Wine Tasting of 1976. At the tasting, he admitted that "We thought we were recognizing French wines, when they were California, and vice versa. At times we'd say that a wine would be thin and therefore California, when it wasn't. Our confusion showed how good California wines have become."
