Bottle Shock

Thank you easilymused1956 for reccing Bottle Shock! When I looked it up after you'd mentioned it, I saw it was only $10 at Amazon, so I ordered. We watched it last night, and just loved it! For me, it was hugely nostalgia. That's the Napa of my childhood, before it was a pricey 'destination'. I remember going to the state park in Calistoga with a picnic lunch, and after, I'd explore the pioneer cemetery there. Then we'd go to Beringer for the tour of the wine aging tunnels, which I loved - it was always so cool in there compared to the summer heat outdoors. It all made me very homesick for California. Also had a bit of a crossover moment when Alan Rickman and Eliza Dushku had a scene together. Throw in Chris Pine and it was a Harry Potter/Buffy/Star Trek mash!

So glad you like it! After watching, I googled Bo Barrett, found a couple of interviews he did. Chris Pine should look as good at 50-something.

There were some interviews with him and his dad in the extras. He really did age well, heck so did his dad, who is 81 and sure doesn't look it!

I really did enjoy it, so thank you for mentioning it.

Oh wow - we watched this not long ago and loved it, too. :)

Just saw that movie on TV a couple weeks ago, and aside from being distracted for quite awhile by Chris Pine's hair, I thought it was a pretty good movie. :D Made me wish I could drink alcohol this semester so that I could go up to Napa Valley and drink some wine. Alas, not to be (for now). Glad you liked it.
