Bottle Shock
Solid. I think it appeals to those with an actual interest in wine + winemaking more than an average consumer. But the judgment of Paris is so important to american, specifically napa, wine culture so I’d recommend to any industry people. The wannabe connoisseur in me loved it

This was a very mediocre movie. But I love wine so much, and the Judgement of Paris is the most important day in wine history. So I had to give it a thumbs up in spite of the movie’s mediocrity.
If you love wine, watch it. But maybe have a few glasses of wine first.
