In 1980 "The Great Chicago Chardonnay Showdown” brought together 221 Chardonnays for a historic first: the largest blind tasting of that time of wine made from a single varietal. The first vintage that Miljenko “Mike” Grgich, crafted at Grgich Hills, the 1977 Chardonnay, emerged triumphant with a first place ribbon. He soon became affectionately known as the "King of Chardonnay."

In 2015 Grgich Hills is celebrating Chardonnay and the 35th anniversary of this historic tasting with vintner dinners across the country,  culminating in festive gala dinners in Chicago and Napa Valley.

Join Violet Grgich in Chicago at the Signature Room in the Hancock Center on May 7.
