Bottleshock
(PG-13)
"The
birth of California's Napa wine industry, and their triumph
over the French at the 1976 Paris Tastings." |
There
are certain moments in history when America has proven
itself to the world: Neil Armstrong setting foot on the
Moon; or the US Men's Hockey team beating the Soviet Union
in the 1980 Olympics. One such moment, however, never got
the recognition it deserved: In 1976, a small American
winery bested the exalted French wines of the time and sent
the wine industry into a tizzy - putting California wines on
the map for good. Based on a true story, Bottle Shock
chronicles the events leading up to the famous 'Judgment of
Paris' tastings, told through the lives of father and son,
Jim and Bo Barrett. A former real estate attorney, Jim
sacrificed everything to realize his dream of creating the
perfect hand-crafted chardonnay. His business, however, is
struggling, and he's not only trying to overcome differences
with his slacker son, but is also fighting off the
creditors. Meanwhile in Paris, unwitting British wine shop
owner Steven Spurrier hopes to revive his own failing
business by sponsoring a competition which will pit the
traditional French powerhouse against the California
upstarts. Little did Steven and Jim realize that they were
both on course to change the history of wine forever.
