Movie Review: Bottle Shock

Bottle Shock tells the story of the Napa Valley in the 1970s and the events leading up to the "Judgment of Paris," a blind tasting where American wines unexpectedly beat their French counterparts. Its a very enjoyable movie that draws you into the world of wine. The scenery is gorgeous and it has a nice soundtrack as well. As a personal aside, within the last two years, I had the privilege of enjoying two bottles of the 1966 Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve, which were bottled a full decade before the events depicted in this movie. PG-13.
