Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) Spanish wine is a supporting cast member.

As you watch the trailer to the upcoming Woody Allen movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” you tend to notice a few things, well at least I did and here is my list.

One - Scarlett Johansson
Two - Rebecca Hall
Three - Wine glasses. Lots and lots of wine glasses. Which to me continues to validate my affection for wine, beautiful women and Woody Allen.

“We will eat well. We will drink wine. We will make love”

Sounds like my life was being written into the script, until the WE in question was points one and two from above and Javier Bardem, handsome in that rogue-ishly Spanish sort of way, but well, not my cup of tea.

Noticeable in the trailer was the tactics employed by one Juan Antonio, that rouge-ish Spanish fellow. When Scarlett agrees to go to his room, she says he still has to seduce her. Cut to him opening the door with a glass of wine, Rioja most likely, in his hand. Note its just one glass. Then cut to SJ on the bed with what I can only presume is the same glass of wine. Hence, the axiom, that wine and an open collared shirt are two vital ingredients in the seduction game.

The movie is slated for release August 15th.
