Wine with Movies


There have been millions of words written about which wines go with which foods. To the best of my knowledge up until now no one has written about which wines go with which movies. This occurred to me as I was fetching a wine to drink as I screened "The Godfather" for about the fifth or sixth time.

Many people might suggest a chianti or barolo but I think a strong red zin such as a Martinelli or Hartford would be a better choice. The taste seems to follow the sepia tones of the film, and more than one Italian-American has told me that red zin reminds him of the wine his father used to make at home. Besides, zin would go better with the cannoli.

Hi Tom, On Tue, 27 Dec 2005 17:46:52 GMT How about John Bull? That sounds...

For "When Harry Met Sally" I'd suggest an over-oaked chardonnay.

"American Graffiti"-- a blanc de blancs Champagne.

"The Producers"-- an inexpensive ice wine (Selaks from New Zealand, for example, where they pick the grapes then place them in a freezer).

"The Taking of Pelham One Two Three"-- cough medicine.

"Casablanca" anyone?
