Shot on location in the breathtakingly beautiful Northern California wine region, Bottle Shock is the true story of an upstart band of wine makers and their dream of winning the historical 1976 blind wine tasting in Paris.
When novice vintner Jim Barrett (Bill Pullman) bought the Chateau Montelena, he risked everything to realize his dream of creating the perfect hand-crafted California Chardonnay. Meanwhile in Paris, struggling wine seller Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman) is planning a publicity stunt to help his floundering shop – a wine tasting that would pit France’s world famous wines against the up-and-coming wines being created in California. As Spurrier travels through Napa, he is surprised by the quality of the wines he encounters and the passion of its makers, soon realizing the history of wine was about to change forever.
Directed by Randall Miller, Bottle Shock stars Alan Rickman (Nobel Son, Harry Potter), Chris Pine (Blind Dating, Star Trek), Bill Pullman (Spy Games, Scary Movie 4), Eliza Dushku (Bring It On, City By The Sea), Rachael Taylor (Transformers, Shutter), Freddy Rodriguez (Bobby, Grindhouse), and Dennis Farina (What Happens In Vegas, Paparazzi).
Alliance Films’ Bottle Shock is currently playing in Toronto and will be expanding in other select markets over the next few weeks.
