50 years ago today, two small wineries from an obscure valley in California stunned the wine world and won "the Judgment of Paris" - thus launching the Napa Valley we know today.
Sadly, Miljenko "Mike" Grgich (1923-2023) and Warren Winiarski (1928 - 2024) are not here with us today to celebrate their achievement.

Happy 100th birthday Mike Grgich! He was vital in bringing prestige and prosperity to a little-known valley. His contributions can be tasted across the world today!
