DVD Details:
"Bottle Shock" -- Praised as "'Rocky' for wine aficionados" (The Hollywood Reporter), "Bottle Shock" follows novice vintner Jim Barrett, who against all odds and expectations, defeated the heavily favored French varietals at the 1976 blind taste challenge called "The Judgment of Paris." An unforeseen victory by any standards, this central event established California and Napa Valley's reputation as one of the world's top wine producing regions. Shot on location in the breathtakingly beautiful Northern California wine country and using the real-life Chateau Montelena winery in many scenes, "Bottle Shock" celebrates the splendor of California wine country which forever changed the face of the winemaking industry. Starring an incredible ensemble cast, including Golden Globe(R) winner Alan Rickman ("Love Actually," "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"), Bill Pullman ("Independence Day," "Sleepless in Seattle"), Chris Pine ("Star Trek," "Smokin' Aces"), Rachael Taylor ("Transformers"), Eliza Dushku ("Dollhouse"), Freddy Rodriguez ("Ugly Betty") and Dennis Farina ("Law & Order"). The "Bottle Shock" DVD is priced to own at $27.98.
