I just caught this film on netflix.ca and really enjoyed it. "Bottle Shock" (2008) is a low key drama about a struggling NAPA vineyard in 1976 and the creation of the Paris wine tasting which put Napa wines on the map. It is based on the true story of the Chateau Montelena vineyard. The film is slow paced and not overly dramatic, but humorous and meaningful. It's a nice human story and the antithesis of a big Hollywood production. The film stars Alan Rickman, Bill Pullman, Chris Pine. Rachel Taylor and Freddy Rodriguez.

Born 1997 and 2000.

In the scenes where the hero is running late to San Jose and the scene where the truck breaks down, the kids stopped the action and asked, "Why didn't he just use his cell phone?"

Paradigm shift, for sure.
