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,

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
