A New Wine Documentary
A new film based-around the wine biz in California is getting write-ups in the media. The SF Gate ran a story on the film - Bottle Shock. Have a look at a little of what they had to say -
"The movie takes as its focus the the relationship between Jim and Bo Barrett (played by Bill Pullman, left, and Chris Pine), the father-son team from Calistoga's Chateau Montelena, which made the winning Chardonnay in the 1976 tasting. In telling the story, certain liberties were taken; half the tale of the Judgment - the victory of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars' Cabernet over France's best reds - didn't even make the cut. There are other presumed embellishments, like a Calistoga bar in the early '70s carrying a bottle of 1947 Cheval Blanc. But as Bo Barrett said recently, "This is not a documentary."
