Bottle Shock the Movie

Late Fall is approaching with the sun setting around 5pm, perfect for wine and a movie night! And what better combination than Bottle Shock the movie and a VERY nice bottle of wine? Bottle Shock is the loosely based story of the Judgment of Paris widely considered the year California wine arrived on the world scene. Click the link above for my April 2008 post on this exciting event!

If you're looking to splurge on a stunningly complex Spanish wine, I highly recommend the Clio 2006 from Jumilla. It had a finish that went on for days... Unfortunately I cannot recommend Bottle Shock though. Apart from the beautiful panorama's of Napa, it was a sappy love story sandwiched between 15 minutes of content about the actual event. It had its moments, but overall I'd like that hour and half of my day back.

Cheers!
