#Movies #Wine

Another #movie thst I just rewatched for the umpteenth time is #BottleShock (2008), #ChrisPine in a non-action role in very long hair & co-stars #tAlanRickman (think, #HarryPottter's #ProfessorSeverius) which is about the 1st #JudgmentOfParis blind wine tasting in 1976 during which #ChateauMontelena won for best white wine -- a #chardonnay -- and #StagsLeap won for best red wine -- a #CabernetSaugvinon, over notable #FrenchWines , which put #NapaValleyWines on the map for the 1st time.

I love wine & I love this movie, which is corny but cute. Worth watching if you like wine & you've never seen it before. I'd rate it 7 out of 10.

Mario Gemello was not just a winemaker.
He was a storyteller.
And one day, 20 years after his retirement, a #WineandSpirits reporter called.
Giving him the news that would trigger one of the best stories of all.
