A funny feel-good film
This charming comedy tells the true story of the Château Montelena winery in 1976 Calistoga, CA and how it helped American (specifically Californian) wine break into the sophisticated wine market previously dominated by France.

The financially struggling winery is run by perfectionist Jim Barrett (Bill Pullman), with assistance from Gustavo (Freddy Rodriguez, “Six Feet Under”), the son of a Mexican field hand who has aspirations of opening his own winery. Also along for the ride is Jim’s hippie son, the long-haired, good-natured Bo (Chris Pine of “Star Trek”) who has dropped out of college and is stuck in a stagnant existence. When the film opens young intern Sam (Rachael Taylor) has joined the winery to learn all she can about viniculture.

Meanwhile, British wine snob Steven Spurrier (a delightful Alan Rickman) has journeyed from his struggling wine shop in Paris to Napa Valley to see what all the fuss is about regarding California wine. Impressed by the quality of vino across the pond, Spurrier arranges the famous blind taste testing wine competition in Paris. Eliza Dushku (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Bring it On”), plays a local barmaid who helps Bo get Château Montelena’s wine into the competition.

“Bottle Shock” is light and funny, with solid performances from the entire cast and a charming, genuinely interesting true story behind it. An enjoyable rental.
