The Judgment of Paris: 50 Years
US$600.00 per person
1 - 6 people
5 Nov 2026 only
Join us at Reserve for an extraordinary evening commemorating the 50th anniversary of the historic 1976 Judgment of Paris, the legendary blind tasting that forever changed the world of wine and established California's place among the world's finest wine regions. In celebration of this milestone, we are honored to welcome Marcus Notaro, Winemaker at Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, whose 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon famously triumphed over some of Bordeaux's most prestigious wines in the original tasting. The evening will feature an exceptional selection from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, including Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, culminating in a rare three-vintage retrospective of the iconic S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon: 2008, 2013, and 2016. Sourced from the historic vineyard that produced the winning wine in 1976, these distinguished vintages offer a unique opportunity to explore the evolution, complexity, and remarkable aging potential of one of Napa Valley's most celebrated Cabernet Sauvignons. Each wine will accompany an exclusive six-course tasting menu thoughtfully composed by Reserve's culinary team, creating an intimate evening of exceptional gastronomy and wine discovery. The Evening's Menu Hamachi & Prawn Corn Pudding Black Truffle Chestnut Pasta Lamb Short Rib Dessert Champagne Reception 6:30 PM | Dinner 7:00 PM $600++ per guest Seating is extremely limited for this one-night-only celebration of wine history, extraordinary vintages, and the enduring legacy of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars.

Our first time here. The menu was incredible. The host and waiters were nice, conversational. We have been to lots of Michelin star restaurants and think it is a shame they didn’t receive a star. I imagine next round they will. The creative touch of the chef was seen and tasted throughout the menu. Can’t wait to come here again.

We had an exceptional experience! Every team member at The Reserve is very well trained and provides the best guest experience. The chef made an impromptu menu accommodation for us, which was delicious and very thoughtful. The presentation of every dish was so creative. It was a one of a kind and memorable experience!

This was probably one of the best meals we have had in the valley. It was on point with many of the Michelin-starred restaurants we have dined at. We will definitely be back.

Great experience for a special occasion, they walk you through the set menu and explain everything along the way from each course to why the paired wine works for the specific dish at a level of detail that you want. If you can only do one special dinner with a loved one, this is the place for you.
