Bottle Shock - The other wine movie

Looking forward to seeing Bottle Shock this week as it is finally in my neighborhood. If you haven’t heard about it, its a little film staring Alan Rickman, Chris Pine, Bill Pullman, Dennis Farina, and Rachael Taylor that tells the tale of what many think is the most important blind tasting in the history of French and Californian wines. Occurring in 1976, the tasting in Paris became known as the “Judgement of Paris”

Have you seen it? Let us know what you thought, but please don’t spoil the ending. Not like they did in that Titanic movie when the trailer showed the ship sinking. Almost made me not want to go watch the movie.

    Awesome film. Better than Sideways! The characters are well developed, the writing is superb, the casting is great, the history is fascinating, and who can’t love the setting.
