Steven Spurrier, 'unsung hero of wine' who organised the world-shaking Judgment of Paris tasting – obituary

Steven Spurrier, who has died aged 79, was a debonair wine merchant and critic who was responsible for organising perhaps the most famous event in the history of wine when in May 1976 he brought together nine of France’s most eminent wine tasters and got them to blind-taste and rate a selection of French and Californian wines.
The tasting, which became known as the “Judgment of Paris”, pitted four grand and premier cru white burgundies against six Californian chardonnays, and four first and second growth bordeaux against six Californian cabernets. The French, naturally, assumed there could only be one outcome. Indeed Spurrier himself had, he wrote, “rigged the whole thing for the French to win. You don’t take half a dozen unknown Californian wines and put them up against the very best of French wine.”

From the archive: Steven Spurrier on 'wine - a way of life'

I’d always thought of writing a slim volume to tell the grandchildren about my life, and bit by bit it grew into something bigger. However,
Wine – A Way of Life remains a memoir, not an autobiography. For my 21st birthday, my maternal grandmother gave me membership to The Wine Society and a 12-bottle wine rack.
While these presents added to my enjoyment of life, my paternal grandfather had lit the flame eight years before after a Christmas Eve dinner at the family house in Derbyshire, saying I was old enough for a glass of Port.
It was quite amazing. ‘What’s this, Grandpa?’ ‘Cockburn’s 1908, my boy.’

RIP Steven Spurrier: Losing a Gentleman of the Wine World : Vinography

RIP Steven Spurrier: Losing a Gentleman of the Wine World
This morning the Academie du Vin Library issued a press release announcing the death of an icon in the wine world:
Steven Spurrier died, earlier today. He was at home, at Bride Valley, surrounded by family. Steven was a pioneer in wine – a visionary who never lost his passion for new projects, new discoveries and the world of wine. He will always be remembered for founding the Académie du Vin, the celebrated Judgement of Paris and in recent years, the Académie du Vin Library and, together with his wife Bella, the Bride Valley Vineyard in Dorset, England – as well as much else besides. He was also a hugely loved husband, father and grandfather. He will be sorely missed, not just by his immediate family and friends, but by people right across the world of wine. His enthusiasm and love of wine will live on through Bride Valley, the Académie du Vin Library, the relaunched Académie du Vin in Canada and through the work of the many wine makers, wine writers and wine educators he championed.

Steven Spurrier, who died Tuesday morning at age 79, was an unlikely champion for California wines. In 1976, the British wine merchant was running a shop in Paris that specialized in the great wines of France — Burgundy, Bordeaux — when he visited Napa Valley, at the time considered a podunk farming town.
