bottle shock

i like wine, but i'm certainly not a an expert in the field. over the past few years, i've definitely taken more of an interest in learning about wine and the industry. my trip to napa with brooke and naomi helped to educate me (somewhat) about the california wine industry.

a few weeks ago, i went and saw the movie bottle shock with some friends. it's a true story about how the california wine industry made their mark in the world of wine making, by beating out the french in a blind taste test on their home turf, with their own judges. it was smart and funny, and offered a pretty true rendition of history.

i rarely make it out to the movies, but i'm glad i had the chance to see this. it's supposed to be pretty widely distributed, so if you see it at your local theatre, and you're looking for something that is a little deeper than your regular popcorn flick, give it a go.
