Fight Club & Lodi Zinfandel


Let's talk about "Fight Club." Anarchic and thought-provoking, "Fight Club" challenges societal norms and delves deep into the human psyche, so a rebellious Zinfandel from Lodi, California is the ideal companion. A Klinker Brick wine is a great option.


Directed by David Fincher, "Fight Club" is a dark, provocative, and psychologically intense drama based on the identically named novel by Chuck Palahniuk. The film follows the story of an insomniac white-collar worker, played by Edward Norton, who forms an underground fight club with the enigmatic and charismatic Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). As the club evolves into a larger, anarchic movement known as Project Mayhem, the film explores themes of consumerism, toxic masculinity, and the search for identity in a modern, materialistic world.


Lodi Zinfandels embody the rebellious spirit and raw energy that pervades "Fight Club." They're known for their rich, bold characters and offer an enticing medley of ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and black pepper.


These rich and enticing fragrances echo the film's exploration of hedonistic pleasures and primal desires. Additionally, you'll detect subtle hints of spice, tobacco, and licorice, which add complexity and depth to the wine's overall bouquet.


The wine's rich, dark flavors are balanced by structured tannins, providing a velvety and mouth-filling texture. On the palate, the a Lodi Zinfandel delivers a punch. 🥊
