Anyone who has seen the movie
Bottle Shock knows the
story of the little-known Napa vineyard that, in 1976, gave instant
credibility to the Northern California wine industry by winning a blind
taste test among the greatest French blends. Now that often-repeated
test known as “Judgment of Paris” is the centerpiece of
HOW WINE BECAME MODERN: DESIGN + WINE 1976 TO NOW,
on exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art from November
20 to April 17, 2011. The exhibit explores the culture of wine through
modern times, including the expansion of the industry to countries
outside Europe and the growing accessibility and marketing of fine
vintages throughout the world. (415) 357-4000,
