Wine Month: A Good Year | Bottle Shock | Corked

The three movies for July are Bottle shock,  corked and my personal favorite A Good Year.  I am still working on the idea of a wine tasting party but if that does not work out, we are still doing these movies   Corked is a mockumentary comedy about a small group of California vintners who are vying for the honor in a wine competition.  It reminds me a little of a Christopher Guest movie you know with a similar form The Best In Show group of actors..      Bottle Shock is a dramedy based on the true 1976 wine competition when a California wine defeated a French wine.  Starring one of my favorite character actor Alan Rickman (ahh Colonel Brandon in Jane Austin's Sense and Sensibility loved  him in that part ).   The last my favorite of the group A Good Year   A british broker inherits a French chateau that belonged to his uncle he must go to France and settle his uncle's affairs including selling the chateau.  He starts to remember happy summer vacations with his uncle at the chateau, now this film has Russell Crowe and Marion Cortilland in it directed by Ridley Scott Now I know what some of you are thinking it is predictable I DO NOT CARE  it has wonderful French music and I think the writing is fun.  Favorite line in the film is when the caretaker asks the girl "where are you from?"  she answers Napa Valley  He saids "oh that is where they make fruit juice"  I hope you enjoy these films.  I hope you will leave a comment on the blog site on the movies, I love to read them I am dreaming about a fine Pinot Grigio let me know your favorite wine Movielynne
