BOTTLE SHOCK (PG13) -Baxter Avenue Theatres
There are certain unforgettable moments in history when
America has triumphed against long odds and proved itself to
the world: Neil Armstrong setting foot on the moon; the U.S.
Men's Hockey team beating the Soviet Union in the 1980
Olympics. But one such moment has never received the
recognition it deserves: In 1976, a small American winery sent
shock waves through the industry by besting the exalted French
wines in a blind tasting, putting California wines on the map
for good. Novice vintner Jim Barrett (Bill Pullman) risked
everything to realize his dream of creating the perfect
hand-crafted California Chardonnay. Meanwhile in Paris,
struggling wine seller Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman) came up
with an idea for a publicity stunt to help his floundering
shop. Little did Spurrier and Barrett realize they were about
to change the history of wine forever. A dramatic comedy
directed by Randall Miller (Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom
Dancing & Charm School), co-starring Chris Pine,
Rachael Taylor, Freddy Rodriguez, Eliza Dushku and Dennis
Farina.
