The BC Wine Tasting Challenge™ 2026

​Hosted and curated by Barb Wild, DipWSET, CSW — founder of Good Wine Gal. Learn more about Barb here.

This is BC's premier, blind tasting, wine event.
Challenge wine bias and learn about the value equation.
Use your palate. Be the Judge. Identify the BC Wine.

​The BC Wine Tasting Challenge is a blind tasting experience inspired by Steven Spurrier and the 1976 Judgment of Paris.
Celebrating 50 years on May 24, 1976

​By hiding labels and reputations, the Challenge invites guests to
taste BC wines alongside global benchmarks.

Using a 20 point score, sensory evaluation, curiosity and conversation,
we unmask the bottles and
​discover the true quality and value of BC wine.
