Bottle Shock
Based on a true story, Bottle Shock is a cinematic love letter to California’s wine country. The film chronicles the events leading up to the famous Paris Tastings of 1976. The story is told through the lives of father and son, Jim and Bo Barrett struggling to create the perfect chardonnay at Chateau Montelena, and a British expatriate wine shop owner living in Paris. A twist of fate along a dusty road brings the floundering vintners and the struggling shop owner together, changing both their lives—and the wine industry—forever.
Actors Bill Pullman and Freddy Rodriguez and director Randall Miller expected to attend.
After the screening, rendezvous for a final night of live music, food, and beverages at the Pan Pacific Hotel (2125 Terry Avenue, South Lake Union). Two complimentary drink tickets will be provided upon entry to guests 21 and over. A no-host cash bar will also be available.

FUNNY AND WELL-SHOT, May 17, 2008
By Mike Caccioppoli
“A true story becomes a humorous film as Miller takes us back to the days before Napa Valley was a worldwide household name for good wine. It’s 1976 and Stephen Spurrier’s (Alan Rickman) failure as a wine salesman is about to become intertwined with Jim Barrett’s (Bill Pullman) failure as a wine”
