Chateau Montelena is probably one of the most well known American wineries in the world because its Chardonnay won a historic blind tasting in 1976 against some of the top wineries in France. This blind tasting competition, The Judgement of Paris, changed the perception of California wine forever and Chateau Montelena was at the forefront. But instead of resting on their laurels, this winery continues to show a commitment to innovation and excellence with new technology, creative planting, and more! Join me today as I interview Matthew Crafton, the head winemaker at Chateau Montelena and learn about this historic winery in Napa Valley, CA.
