Pierre Brejoux was Inspector General of the Appellation d'Origine Controlee Board, which controls the production of top French wines.
After the tasting, there were many calls for him to resign his position as Inspector General because so many people and groups were highly displeased with the results.
He later revealed to George Taber that he traveled to California in 1974 and 'learned a lot - to my surprise...'.
Brejoux also authored several books on French wine.
