Crowd Pleaser,
By
This review is from: Bottle Shock (Dégustation Choc) (DVD)
Before a (then) little known Paris wine tasting in 1976, most people had no idea that California was producing world class wines. That changed when a British ex-pat in Paris organized a wine tasting of the best French versus the best Californians - against all expectations, California won both best red and white and nothing in the wine world has been the same since.This drama/light comedy follows the true story of the travails of the winning white (Chardonnay) winery leading up to the competition. There is lots to enjoy here including a struggling small business story, an evolving father-son relationship, the comeuppance of an arrogant industry, and of course, a love triangle. The movie is well cast (and very well acted) with Bill Pullman as the business owner father and Alan Rickman as the snobby Brit amazed to find that good wines can be found this side of the Atlantic. In the final analysis, this is a feel good movie, suitable for the whole family with the proviso that kids under 10 might get bored in places.

Enjoyable story from beginning to end. One of those quiet movies that doesn't get any press but is worth seeing over many of the "blockbusters".

This review is from: NEW Bottle Shock (DVD) (DVD)
Not just interesting for the oenophile this movie is an interesting, humorous and historic view into the coming of age of the wine industry in California, and other non-European areas as well. A delightful movie.
