Bottle Shock is the true story of how California wines began to be taken seriously on the world stage. It stars Bill Pullman as Jim Barrett the owner of Chateau Montelena, a fledgling winery. He is assisted by his general screw-up son Bo played by Chris Pine and his best friend Gustavo (Rodriguez). Alan Rickman plays Steven Spurrier an ex-pat Brit living in France and running his own wine store. In an effort to stock his store with the finest wines he travels to California to test the new offerings from the Americans. Along the way he collects samples to bring back to France and display in an open wine competition. While I didn’t expect to enjoy this Pine and Rodriquez were great together and it had a little “Miracle” feel where we’re rooting for the Americans. On the whole though it was just okay. I honestly don’t have any major complaints, but on that same token there’s nothing to rave about either.
