Annapolis wine merchant, Patrick Bouculat of Wine Cellars of Annapolis, decided to recreate a modern day version of the historic a Judgment of Paris, a competition between California and French winesstaged by British wine merchant Steven Spurrier. Spurrier arranged for a blind tasting of chardonnay wines in one flight and red wines (California cabernets sauvignons versus French Bordeaux blends) in another flight.
