Bottle Shock

Slow pacing hinders this intriguing, factually based, star-studded (Dennis Farina, Freddy RodrÃguez, Eliza Dushku, Bradley Whitford, et al.) film in which former real estate lawyer Jim Barrett (Bill Pullman) follows his dream to start his Chateau Montelena winery in the Napa Valley with his free-spirited son (Chris Pine), who are then surprised when a snobbish British wine enthusiast/seller (Alan Rickman) living in France selects their upstart Chardonnay to compete in the blind Paris Tastings of 1976 against more well-established French vineyards.
