Steven Spurrier is one of the wine trade’s most important figures. Over the years, he took the role of wine merchant, buyer, wine educator, and lecturer; he wrote books, wine courses, and over 300 columns for Decanter magazine. He set up the breakthrough "Judgement of Paris" in 1976—a tasting in which outsider wines from California were pitched blind against Bordeaux’ finest, and won—which still sends reverberations through the wine trade today. Steven’s message from it remains clear: Don’t judge until you’ve tasted—quality in wine can be found where you’d least expect it.
The moment he was handed a glass of Cockburn 1908 vintage port by his grandfather at 13 years old, Steven Spurrier knew there was no turning back. Family holidays to France and Italy, and a first job working for Christopher’s—London’s oldest wine merchant—only confirmed that no other career would do. So, after learning the ropes by traveling France in his red sports car (fitted with a compact wine fridge in the trunk), working the vintage in Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Champagne, Steven’s first extraordinary move was to set up shop and sell wine to the French.
