Movie review for the day


Rico says he and the ladyfriend watched Bottle Shock the other evening. She swears we'd seen it before, but, if so, Rico didn't remember a frame of it:
The story of the early days of California wine making, featuring the now-infamous blind Paris wine tasting of 1976 that has come to be known as the Judgment of Paris:

Lots of people that Rico recognized, of course, including Bill Pullman, Bradley Cooper, Dennis Farina, and Alan Rickman (though all Rico could hear was his plummy British accent saying Cancel Christmas!, from his role as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves...).
Gorgeous scenery, of course, in both Napa and Paris.
A good tale, and well worth watching.
