Paris Tasting film with Alan Rickman slated for Sundance

Bottle Shock, one of the films about the 1976 Paris Tasting, has finished shooting and will premier at the Sundance Film Festival in January.

The film, which publicists say is ‘loosely based’ on the now-legendary tasting in Paris when American wines trounced the French in a blind tasting, was shot entirely on location in Napa and Sonoma and is now in the editing phase.

Filming took place in the town of Sonoma, Carneros vineyards and in wineries such as Chateau Montelena and Kunde throughout much of August and September.

Bottle Shock is directed by Randall Miller and stars Bill Pullman, Eliza Dushku, Alan Rickman and Chris Pine. It tells the story of the Barretts, son Bo and father Jim from Chateau Montelena, whose 1973 Chardonnay beat four Burgundies and half a dozen American whites in 1976.
