bottle shock...


The first film I viewed @ the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. It was based on a blind tasting competition between California and French wineries in 1976 and guess who won? A winery from Napa called Chateau Montelena with their 1973 chardonnay. It was their story the movie focused on. FYI, the other winner was Stag's Leap's 1973 cabernet.

It wasn't a great work of art, but I thoroughly enjoyed it because I'm a lover of wine. BOTTLE SHOCK was a history lesson on the genesis of the California wine revolution.

The major players of the cast were @ the screening- Alan Rickman, Bill Pullman, Chris Pine(JUST MY LUCK), Rachael Taylor(TRANSFORMERS), Freddie Rodriguez(SIX FEET UNDER), and Eliza Dushku(BRING IT ON). I love Eliza Dushku!

If you liked SIDEWAYS, you'll probably like BOTTLE SHOCK...
