Lectures on Tap -"The Global Winescape: 50 Years Post the Tasting of Paris"

Join us for a captivating evening as Professor Torrey Grant revisits the legendary 1976 “Judgment of Paris” on its 50th anniversary. We’ll explore what really happened that day, separating hype from history and tracing how a single tasting reshaped the global wine landscape over the last half-century.

Professor Grant teaches the popular “Beer and Wine Appreciation” course at Syracuse University and serves as Wine Director for Leonetta. He also brings his expertise to Wegmans and Liquor City as a retail consultant and educator.

Known for his unconventional style—like pairing Champagne with hotdogs—Grant blends deep wine knowledge with a playful, accessible approach. Whether you’re a seasoned oenophile or just wine-curious, you’ll gain fresh insight into how perceptions of Old World vs. New World wines have evolved and what that means for what’s in your glass today.
