The Art of Comparison: France vs. America

  • The Oenophile Institute 1295 W Spring St Smyrna, GA, 30080 United States (map)

This class is intended for curious competitors, Francophiles, and anyone who loves a good story told through a great glass.

Inspired by the legendary Judgement of Paris, this class revisits one of wine’s most fascinating rivalries: France vs. America. Through side-by-side tastings, we’ll explore how terroir, climate, and philosophy shape two distinct visions of excellence. Compare balance, ripeness, and structure as we examine what defines “Old World” restraint versus “New World” expression and how those lines have blurred over time. Expect thoughtful discussion, a dash of friendly competition, and plenty of surprises as classic regions and bold challengers go head to head.
