Bottle Shock Page #7

Synopsis: In 1976, Steven Spurrier, a sommelier in Paris, comes to the Napa Valley to take the best he can find to Paris for a blind taste test against French wine. He meets Jim Barrett, whose Chateau Montelena is mortgaged to the hilt as Jim perfects his chardonnay. There's strain in Jim's relations with his hippie son Bo and his foreman Gustavo, a Mexican farmworker's son secretly making his own wine. Plus, there's Sam, a UC Davis graduate student and free spirit, mutually attracted to both Gustavo and Bo. As Spurrier organizes the "Judgment of Paris," Jim doesn't want to participate while Bo knows it's their only chance. Barrett's chardonnay has buttery notes and a Smithsonian finish.

[French]

We won?

[Laughs]

[French]

A stunning success. Stop.

Took first place

with le premier cru. Stop.

[Rings]

- [Cheering]

- Yeah.

Who is this?

- TIME magazine?

- TIME magazine?

TIME magazine, man!

Well, yeah, I guess, you know...

if you want to,

you can take a picture of me, but I'm...

really not that pretty.

A statement?

Uh, I don't know.

I suppose, um-

I guess, uh-

I'd have to say that...

it's not bad

for kids from the sticks.

Yeah. Not too bad.

"Not bad for kids from the sticks."

- It's from California?

- Mm-hmm.

- Chteau Montelena.

- It won?

It won. Excuse me.

May we have a bottle of the '73

Montelena chardonnay, please?

No, sir. We do not carry it, but you are

the eighth person to ask for it within the hour.

Hi. I'd like to buy

a bottle of the, uh...

- '73-

- Montelena chardonnay.

- Yes.

- Why is everyone asking for the same wine?

- Salud.

- Salud.

- You okay, pally?

- Well...

I'm a pariah

among the cavistes...

and persona non grata

to the vintners.

Well, I guess it could be worse.

No.

We have shattered the myth...

of the invincible French vine.

And...

not just in California.

We've opened the eyes of the world.

And you know what I say?

I say amen to that, brother.

You mark my words.

We'll be drinking wines from...

well, South America.

Australia. New Zealand.

Africa. India.

China.

This is not the end, Maurice.

This is just the beginning.

Welcome to the future.
