Movie Night

Having a Friday night in? We recommend a movie, a bottle of wine, and some popcorn. What type of movie? One about wine of course! There are many movies about wine out there to choose from and on Fridays we will share one with you that we have seen and enjoyed. You get the popcorn and let Qorkz send you the wine!

In my house, the Friday after Thanksgiving is about decorating for Christmas and watching Home Alone. I hope you share in this family tradition with us this year and remember "This is your house, you have to defend it!"

Home Alone

Eight-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) has become the man of the house, overnight! Accidentally left behind when his family rushes off on a Christmas vacation, Kevin gets busy decorating the house for the holidays. But he's not decking the halls with tinsel and holly. Two bumbling burglars are trying to break in, and Kevin's rigging a bewildering battery of booby traps to welcome them!

Film Critic

Kevin! Home Alone is a movie that needs no introduction. Kevin McAllister really did a number on the Wet Bandits huh? Let's review: iron to the face, nail through the foot, red hot doorknob, two falls down the stairs, paint can to the face, BB gun to the groin, blow torch to the head, falling out of a treehouse, etc.. I am fairly sure that these two guys would be dead by the end of the movie given all they went through. And what takes them down in the end? A flimsy snow shovel... (It's okay, I love it anyway!) Which reminds me...

---

Why We Love It

Why do we love Home Alone? For so many reasons. We all have our favorite scenes that make us until we fall out of our chairs. Every time we watch that scene where Marv hits Harry with a crowbar to kill the spider, my wife laughs so hard it brings her to tears. I love it. But the movie is about more than that. It reminds us of the importance of family but also shows us that we can go it alone if necessary. It shows the importance of lending a hand to a stranger when necessary (Looking at you Polka King of the Midwest). It taught us to check doorknobs before we open them, not to eat your brother's cheese pizza, and to ask if our toothbrush was approved by the American Dental Association. Mainly, it's about how even when we are so mad at family we want them to disappear, deep down inside we really don't. It's a classic and in my house, a family tradition. We hope you enjoy it!

Wine Pairing 

So basically this entire movie Kevin eats cheese pizza or a bowl of 8 scoops of ice cream with marshmallows. What kind of a wine do you pair with that? I would go with the Ascension Evangelist Late Harvest Viognier $36. The deep caramelized pear flavor would be a refreshing contrast to a grease of the pizza, and would make a magnificent pairing with ice cream.

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

---

Charlie Brown and Sally are preparing to go to their grandmother's place for Thanksgiving dinner when Charlie Brown gets a phone call from Peppermint Patty, who invites herself over to Charlie Brown's house for the holiday dinner. Two quick subsequent phone calls add Marcie and Franklin to the guest list, and since Charlie Brown cannot get a word in edgewise with Patty, he quickly finds himself in a quandary with no easy solution—at least not until Linus shows up.

Linus suggests to Charlie Brown that he could have two dinners: the first one for Patty and her friends, and then the second one at his grandmother's home. 

The guests arrive and make their way to the backyard for the Thanksgiving feast. Linus leads the group in prayer. Snoopy serves up the food, throwing the plates to each guest Frisbee-style. Each person gets two slices of buttered toast, and a handful each of pretzel sticks, popcorn, and jelly beans. 

At first Patty is shocked, but her shock quickly turns to outrage, and she angrily berates Charlie Brown for the supposed meal. Embarrassed and dejected, Charlie Brown timidly leaves the table and goes back into the house. Patty's tirade continues until Marcie gently reminds her that Charlie Brown didn't invite her, but that she invited herself, Marcie and Franklin. Coming to her senses, Patty asks Marcie to go and apologize to Charlie Brown on her behalf. Marcie reluctantly does so, but Patty soon follows her and apologizes to Charlie Brown herself.

In the midst of the quasi-feast, Charlie Brown loses track of time; The clock strikes four, reminding him that he and Sally are supposed to be at their grandmother's home for dinner in half an hour. So he calls his grandmother to explain his situation. When he mentions that his friends haven't eaten yet, his grandmother suggests that he bring all his friends with him for Thanksgiving dinner; the idea is welcomed with cheers from everyone.

Wine Pairing 

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is all about friends, family, and giving thanks. In that light, bring mom a bottle of wine this Thanksgiving to show her your appreciation. For my mother, that would be a bottle of her favorite varietal Semillon, specifically the Coruce Semillon $20.97. She loves this gold medal winner for it's big white fruit flavors and balanced acidity. 

---

Film Critic 

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is a great representation of Thanksgiving and how sometimes the meaning behind the holiday gets lost. While every other character in the program is worried about the logistics of Thanksgiving and planning the meal, Linus stands in stark contrast reminding everyone of the history and purpose of the holiday. When Sally asks "Why should I give thanks on Thanksgiving? What do I have to be thankful for?" Linus responds "Sally, Thanksgiving is a very important holiday. Ours was the first country in the world to make a national holiday to give thanks" 

Linus gives further history and meaning of the holiday in his Thanksgiving prayer: In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving feast. They invited the great Indian chief Massasoit, who brought ninety of his brave Indians and a great abundance of food. Governor William Bradford and Captain Miles Standish were honored guests. Elder William Brewster, who was a minister, said a prayer that went something like this: 'We thank God for our homes and our food and our safety in a new land. We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and justice."

---

Why We Love It 

Aside from simply being a classic that we all know, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving reminds us of two very important things. First, to give thanks for family, friends, health, safety, and all the blessings of the year. Second, it reminds us that you have two families in your life, the one you were born with and the one you choose. It asks us to appreciate our friends those around us that we see everyday that help us make it through the year. This Thanksgiving season, raise a glass with your chosen family and let them know you appreciate them and all they do for you.

A Good Year

A feel-good movie that highlights the beauty of France as much as it does its stars, A Good Year provides a languid, gorgeous viewing experience. Director Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe--who first worked together on the Academy Award-winning Gladiator--are reunited in this romantic film, which is based on Peter Mayle's book A Year in Provence. Crowe plays Max, a workaholic London bonds trader who doesn't know the meaning of vacation. When his uncle dies, leaving him a picturesque estate in the south of France, Max views it as an opportunity to cash in the winery and pocket the profits. The film is reminiscent of Diane Lane's Under the Tuscan Sun in the way the scenery plays as much of a role in the film as its characters. The lush village and streaming sunlight portray Provence as an idyllic, magical place. 

Even Max falls under its spell. While not a particularly likeable character, especially in the early part of the film, Max also isn't a bad guy. When he gets the chance to live life at a less manic pace than which he is used to, he finds that a good year isn't dependent on a financial windfall. Though Scott tries to drum up some suspense in the film (Is the beautiful visitor really Max's illegitimate cousin? Will Max fall in love with the feisty local woman he trades quips with?) nothing that happens comes as much of a surprise. Still, while the film doesn't fully utilize Crowe's range of skills, the actor is charming in his role and A Good Year provides a fine time in the cinemas. --Jae-Ha Kim

Film Critic 

A Good Year asks us to look our our lives and evaluate what is truly important. In this day and age where the stresses of the work day never really seem to end, this film reminds us to take a good hard look at our lives and the people we are and become the people we were meant to be. It reminds us that while the rest of life moves along at a thousand miles an hour, the wine industry remains steadfast in its time honored winemaking techniques and the continuing drive to make the perfect bottle of wine.  A Good Year asks us the all important question "What's more important, your money or your life?"  

---

Why We Love It 

First of all, you can't beat the scenery in this movie. A Chateau in Provence sets the stage for the film and the views alone are enough to make you want to run off to spend time at a winery. They were able to perfectly capture that "second glass of wine on the patio of my favorite winery" romantic notion that brings so many of us back to wine country. There is also the element of leaving your high stress job to do something that really matters to you that is prevalent in the film. How many of us haven't thought of doing that once or twice? A Good Year shows us what is really important in life and that's why we love it.

For this movie we recommend the best of French winemaking techniques but with a California twist. Try the Picayune Padlock Red Blend. $29. This  deep layers of black cherries, cassis, blackberries, cocoa, currants with a bit of truffle on the nose.

Bottle Shock

---

In 1976, Steven Spurrier, a sommelier in Paris, comes to the Napa Valley to take the best he can find to Paris for a blind taste test against French wine. He meets Jim Barrett, whose Chateau Montelena is mortgaged to the hilt as Jim perfects his chardonnay. There's strain in Jim's relations with his hippie son Bo and his foreman Gustavo, a Mexican farmworker's son secretly making his own wine. Plus, there's Sam, a UC Davis graduate student and free spirit, mutually attracted to both Gustavo and Bo. As Spurrier organizes the "Judgment of Paris," Jim doesn't want to participate while Bo knows it's their only chance. Barrett's chardonnay has buttery notes and a Smithsonian finish.

Film Critic

This movie strikes close to our heart because it follows the core message of Qorkz: Good wine is good wine no matter where it's grown. It also champions the cause of small producers and the care and craftsmanship they put into their wine. The winning Chateau Montelena wine only produced 500 cases. This movie highlights the blessing and the curse of small production wines. One minute they are near bankruptcy and struggling to sell this tremendous product and the next, the world discovers how great it is, and you will struggle to get your hands on another bottle.  I love that last scene of everyone desperately trying to find a bottle of it. The takeaway? Don't wait until its too late. 

---

Why We Love It 

"Wine is sunlight held together by water" I mean, how do you not love that? Bottle Shock is a great film for all of us who love wine because it allows us to live the struggle of the winemaker. The highs and the lows. It's an emotional struggle from start to finish. It's also the classic underdog story. It's a multitiered challenge of youth v. the establishment and not just with Napa against France either. You have the free wheeling hippie son against his father, and natives to the Napa wine industry v. newcomers seeking to make wine, who challenge established ideas at every turn. Everyone can find their underdog to root for in this film, and it's why it's one of our favorites.

Red Obsession

---

 

Available to stream on Netflix

For over three centuries, Bordeaux has commanded an almost mythical status in the world of wine as a symbol of wealth, power, and influence. But recently, prices for the prestige red wines have been skyrocketing. Something unprecedented is happening to the Bordeaux fine wine market and that something is China.

Red Obsession sets out to explore the Bordeaux phenomenon. Just how good can really good wine be? What compels a cashed up industrialist to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single bottle? Is it taste, prestige, or investment that is driving the demand for the wines of Bordeaux? Or is it simply the need to own something ethereal, unworldly and limited?

Red Obsession is a story of aspiration for greatness. It is also a study of power and passion in high places and the economic power shift from West to East. - Red-Obsession.com

---

Film Critic 

The Chinese economy has grown exponentially in recent years and has trapped the wine industry in its tremendous wake. While this film focuses on the Chinese obsession for Bordeaux wines, the effect of the new Chinese wine fever has most certainly reached the United States as well. With the prices of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon inching towards averages of $250 - $300 a bottle, we can see how these wines are slowly becoming beyond the reach of the average wine consumer.  When will the ever escalating prices of these wines slow down? If Red Obsession is any indication, we might not discover that answer for a long, long time. 

---

Why We Love It

Are you the nouveau riche and want to have the absolute very best of something? Is money not really an object for you in getting what you want? No? Me neither. But if you want to be, then this movie is your guilty pleasure.  From transplanting whole wineries brick by brick, to astronomically high bidding wars for single bottles of wine, this movie shows how the other half lives when they want something done right. For most of us wine drinkers, being able to drink any bottle you want, whenever you want is the pinnacle of being an oenophile and that's exactly the life being depicted here. We love the film because it makes us jealous, terrified, and leaves us in awe, all at the same time.

A Year In Burgundy

---

Available To Stream On Netflix

What lies within the rhythm of a year?

The vines bud and grow leaves and tendrils, and are trained, cared for. They make grapes, and a small, diligent army of hands comes to carry them away. The stripped vines die back, dry and brown, and turn to brush. The brush is burned, going into the wind as a curl of smoke and into the ground as ash. This is a year in Burgundy.

Experience the year with French wine importer Martine Saunier as your guide. The film is in four season-sections, and plays out against that backdrop: spring showers, drought, heat wave, hail and storms, harvest moons and the damp cold of winter. Each vintage is a time capsule, a bottled piece of history of a very specific year, with its particular weather pattern, its crises and its triumphs. It all goes in, whether you want it to or not, and 2011 was full of drama. 

In the film, we get to know our half-dozen wine-makers: they are artists, whose personalities shape the flavor and style of the wines they lovingly craft. There is joy, fear, anxiety, triumph, and laughter in their experiences. With the Morey-Coffinets, we meet three generations of wine-makers, and little two-year-old Celeste, the first of the fourth generation.

In Lalou Bize-Leroy, we meet the uncrowned Queen of Burgundy – now in her eighties, still involved in every detail of her winemaking, creator of some of the best-renowned and most famous wines on earth.

We get a sense of the deep history involved. Though they use many of the latest equipment and techniques, the secrets of winemaking in Burgundy and the discovery of the best terroirs (and how to exploit them) have been developed since Roman times. Indeed, the Cistercian monks kept the art alive during the Dark Ages (500-1000) and developed a whole industry in the Middle Ages: their central wine-making HQ, Clos de Vougeot, still exists, and is the location for one of the central scenes of the film: a great mid-summer banquet. 

Burgundy is exquisitely beautiful. Even if it had no vines, it would be a favorite destination. Its ancient villages, its gentle hillsides, valleys and streams give the impression of a fairy-tale land. Yet it's here that we find what is arguably the most valuable agricultural land on earth: tiny vineyards no bigger than many people's backyards produce wine that sells for thousands of dollars a bottle...

This is a year that went into the bottle and onto film. This is our capsule. The grapes grow. The grapes die away. What is left always in the frame is a way of life. - A Year In Burgundy Official Website. 

Film Critic

Right away you get a sense of how incredibly important wine is in Burgundy. While you get to meet many winemakers and important members of the Burgundy wine community, the wine remains the star. Watching this film you get to experience all the essential elements of winemaking as they take us on a journey from vine to bottle. You also get an understanding of how fiercely protective the different winemakers and vineyard managers are over their craft and their style of growing the vines. To trim or not to trim? Pick before or after the rain? Hand sort or machine sort? Make a mistake in any one of these decisions and the vintage might not meet the lofty standards of Burgundian wine. 

Why We Love It

---

Part travel film and documentary, A Year In Burgundy lets you visit the French countryside without ever leaving the comfort of your living room while giving you a behind the scenes tour of one of the world's best wine producing regions. We love the science behind winemaking and how it's used to combat all the challenges that nature brings to each vintage. We can greedily overindulge in this film on the battle against Botrytis, the rush to beat the rain at harvest, and what kind of effect (both good and bad) that stems, leaves, and other green tannins can have on a wine. Oh, and did I mention all the romance and picturesque setting of the French countryside? We love this film, and we're certain you'll love it too.

You think Burgundy and you think Pinot Noir. This Sabina Pinot Noir is crafted in the traditional Burgundian style making it the perfect partner to this film.

What else does Burgundy do really well? Chardonnay. Think cold, minerals, stone fruit, with good acid. This Stella Chardonnay brings you all of those elements with a touch of honeysuckle to balance that acidity.

Somm

---

Four men will do anything to pass the most difficult test you've NEVER heard of... SOMM takes the viewer on a humorous, emotional and illuminating look into a mysterious world - the Court of Master Sommeliers and the massively intimidating Master Sommelier Exam. The Court of Master Sommeliers is one of the world's most prestigious, secretive, and exclusive organizations. Since its inception almost 40 years ago, less than 200 candidates have reached the exalted Master level. The exam covers literally every nuance of the world of wine, spirits, and cigars. Those who have passed have put at risk their personal lives, their well-being, and often their sanity to pull it off. Shrouded in secrecy, access to the Court Of Master Sommeliers has always been strictly regulated and cameras have never been allowed anywhere near the exam, until now. How much do you think you know about wine? SOMM will make you think again. SOMM takes you on the ultimate insider's tour into a world of obsession, hope, and friendship in red, blanc and sometimes rose. (c) Samuel Goldwyn - Rotten Tomatoes

Film Critic

If you've ever wanted to pull back the curtain on the world of Sommeliers then this is the movie for you. The training that goes into being able to look at a glass of wine, smell it, then taste it and be able to tell the varietal, region of origin, and year all in a matter of three minutes is incredibly difficult. This doesn't even account for the training on service, cigars, sake, and beer that is also required to pass this exam. Your heart goes out to these candidates and their families as they work to scale the mountain and be named Master Sommelier. 

Why We Love It

---

Is there another movie out there that makes you want to try different wines as much as this one? These candidates must be able to identify any varietal from any region and any year. Any of us that enjoys owning the wine list at dinner or pairing food and wine at home is envious of the range of wines these candidates try. This movie is also a guilty pleasure of wine tasting terms from the routine of 'balanced acidity' to the outlandish 'fresh cut garden hose'.  It's educational, it's fun, it's emotional and that's why we love Somm.

We know, we know. You're not drinking any more F-ing Merlot. Well, maybe you should be! Chances are that since this movie, you have been one of the thousands who have said "Oh I'll pass, I don't like Merlot." Thanks to one of the most widely misinterpreted scenes in movie history, one of our favorite varietals was almost killed off entirely. In the movie, the main character Miles yells that he "isn't drinking any more F-ing Merlot" outside of the restaurant. This was widely interpreted as the wine expert dislikes Merlot, or Merlot is somehow a bad wine. Nothing could be further from the truth! In the original story from the book, Miles won't drink Merlot because it's his ex-wife's favorite. That's it. That little omission from the movie is the reason Merlot was nearly pulled from all the vineyards across America. In the years since,  Merlot has been making quite a comeback and should work it's way back into your regular rotation to be recognized as the delicious varietal that it is.

If ever there was a movie that waxed poetically about wine, this is it. Pinot Noir and Syrah get the grand treatment from the main character Miles during his trek through the Santa Barbara wine region centered around the town of Solvang. You can tour this region yourself consisting of AVAs Sta. Rita Hills, Santa Ynez Valley, Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara, Ballard Canyon, and the Santa Maria Valley  When asked Why he loves Pinot Noir so much Miles says: 

“Uh, I don’t know, I don’t know. Um, it’s a hard grape to grow, as you know. Right? It’s uh, it’s thin-skinned, temperamental, ripens early. It’s, you know, it’s not a survivor like Cabernet, which can just grow anywhere and uh, thrive even when it’s neglected. No, Pinot needs constant care and attention. You know? And in fact it can only grow in these really specific, little, tucked away corners of the world. And, and only the most patient and nurturing of growers can do it, really. Only somebody who really takes the time to understand Pinot’s potential can then coax it into its fullest expression. Then, I mean, oh its flavors, they’re just the most haunting and brilliant and thrilling and subtle and... ancient on the planet.”

— Miles Raymond - Sideways

How could you not want a glass of Pinot Noir after hearing that? In fact, we have a few more recommendations that go with Sideways.

2013 BROOKS NOTE MARIN COUNTY PINOT NOIR

Pinot Noir, because, well, you just have to with this movie. We're fans of the Brooks Note Marin because it has big fruit flavors and a long finish. If you put this glass down to watch a few scenes the odds are good you will still be tasting it when you're ready to take your next sip.

Syrah

2012 CORUCE SYRAH

Syrah was Miles second love in Sideways but received none of the publicity bump or fame of Pinot Noir. We think it should have garnered rockstar status years ago for its depth and complexity. Sip on this Coruce Syrah to truly experience the depth of the varietal that made Miles fall so hard.
