Thursday Green - Chateau Montalena in California

in travel •  7 years ago 

Famous for the Judgement of Paris wine tasting that put California wines on the world stage, Chateau Montelena was featured in the 2008 movie Bottle Shock. The 11 judge blind tasting awarded all the top scores to either Chateau Montelena's or another California winery, beating the French wines soundly. For @kalemandra's Color Challenge Wednesday Green, I've included some photos I took on a visit to Chateau Montelena last fall.

The other winery in California and the one which won was stag leap, which put Napa valley on the world map. I t had to be a great feeling for everyone. I was in Napa valley at that time, as a college kid looking for direction for my life. a great time looking back at it. since we share an interest in wine, I am now following you,and upvoted as well
