Winemaker Mike Grgich had gained international recognition at the historic Paris Wine Tasting of 1976 when the Chardonnay he produced at Chateau Montelena won first prize among white wines.

[citation needed] The winery's very first vintage was the winner of the 221-entry Chardonnay Shootout with wines from around the world.

It was conducted by Craig Goldwyn, wine critic of the Chicago Tribune in 1980.
