Movie night doesn't get any better then this: A bottle of Chateau Montelena and the movie Bottle Shock! Sharing a Saturday evening with great friends and the best Chardonnay I have ever tasted. This movie was great staring Alan Rickman (Professor Snape from Harry Potter fame), Dennis Farina and Feddy Rodriguez. Based on the book " Judgement of Paris California vs. France" by George M. Taber. This is an inspiring true story of the 1976 tasting in Paris where California wines beat the French wines in competition for the first time in history.
We were motivated by the story of a then struggling small Napa Valley winery, Chateau Montelena and their dedication and tenacity which led to not only their success, but to putting California on the world wine map.
No matter what type of wine you like, you will love Chateau Montelena. Cheers!
