Description:
Bottle Shock is a 2008 film that tells the story of the events that led up to the Judgment of Paris on 24 May 1976, when California wine beat French wine in a blind taste test. It stars Alan Rickman, Chris Pine and Bill Pullman and is directed by Randall Miller, who wrote the screenplay along with Jody Savin and Ross Schwartz. It premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. 
Wonderful opening shots of Napa Valley, sigh!
