Wine Pairings for
Your Favorite Stories
'cause pairing wine and food has been done
Red Eye & Provence Rouge
The dark, earthy notes of Mas de Gourgonnier Les Baux de Provence Rouge mirrors the palpable danger at the core of "Red Eye."
Ghostbusters (1984) & Vinho Verde
'Cause Slimer is Green.
Dune & Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Since there's no way I'll ever get to watch Jodorowky's "Dune," I guess I'll have to settle for Denis Villeneuve's masterpiece.
California Chardonnay & Freaky Friday
If you must drink a buttery, oaky monstrosity, watch Freaky Friday. The movie is about and the wine tastes like turning into your mother.
House of Gucci & Piedmont Barolo
House of Gucci oozes luxury and scandal, so it's only fitting to indulge in a wine that's just as opulent and captivating.
There Will Be Blood & Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon
The Story " There Will Be Blood , " directed by Paul Thomas Anderson , is a historical epic about Daniel Plainview ( Daniel Day Lewis ),...
The Manchurian Candidate & Chilean Syrah
It's a US election year, it was only a matter of time before I did "The Manchurian Candidate."
The Perks of Being a Wallflower & Vinho Verde
I started high school shortly after "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" was first published... that was 25 years ago... I'm getting old...
The Shining & Chilean Merlot
Since "The Shining" is about alcoholism, I probably shouldn't suggest a wine pairing...
The Great Gatsby & Moldovan Chardonnay
It's been a minute, F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Story " The Great Gatsby " is a tale of wealth, ambition, love, and the pursuit of the...
Little Women & Vinho Verde
My mom just got back from Portugal and she won't shut up about Vinho Verdes. I just did one, Mom. I can't possibly do another one again...
The Martian & Australian Cabernet Sauvignon
Nobody should be surprised I picked a red for a story set on Mars.
Jojo Rabbit & a NOT German Gewürztraminer
I wanted to do a war movie, but I couldn't finish All Quiet on the Western Front. Watch Jojo Rabbit instead, it's both funnier and sadder.
You've Got Mail & Russian River Pinot Gris
"You've Got Mail" is 25 years old now and I don't know how I feel about that. That's a lie, I do know. I don't like it.
Legally Blonde & Monterey Pinot Noir Rosé
Bend and snap!
Treasure Planet & South African Chenin Blanc
"Treasure Planet" is the most underappreciated Disney cartoon ever. There, I said it. No, I'm not taking that back, I stand by it.
Little Miss Sunshine & Spanish Albariño
There aren't many tragicomedies like "Little Miss Sunshine" and I don't get why. Doesn't everyone laugh when their life is a dumpster fire?
Pan's Labyrinth & Spanish Tempranillo
Everything Everywhere All at Once wasn't the first to use supernatural elements as a metaphor. Pan's Labyrinth did it too.
Rogue One & Bordeaux Margaux
I know it's heresy to like any Star Wars movie better than the original trilogy... but I did. I'm as surprised as anyone.
