Bottle Shock, an independent movie loosely based on events leading up to the historic 1976 Paris tasting at which Chateau Montelena's Chardonnay took white wine honors, will debut locally at the ArcLight Cinema, Galleria 16, in the Sherman Oaks Galleria on Wednesday, August 6. Bottle Shock is a fanciful and semi-fictional tale featuring prominent actors: Bill Pullman as Jim Barrett, Chris Pine as Bo Barrett, and Alan Rickman as Steven Spurrier.

Join the Duke on radio as he visits with Tom Leykis, Pullman and Writer/Director Randy Miller on Tom's Tasting Room this Sunday, August 3. The show starts at 5:00PM on KLSX, 97.1FM. The Bottle Shock segment will be first-up. Or, log on and catch the streaming version by following this link.

Join the Duke on August 6 at the ArcLight Cinema and see the local premiere of Bottle Shock. The Duke may not be the only star in attendance, but we want you to be there to complete the picture. Join us at 7:00PM Wednesday evening for the 7:30PM showing. There's sure to be fun and laughter and, certainly, a story or two of the real life event. (You may purchase your tickets in advance. Show time is based on information currently available. Please confirm times before the actual date by either calling the theater directly or following the link below.) Remember, not many others can say it, but the Duke was around when it all happened - the Paris tasting that helped shape our world of wine. Show times for August 7 and later have not been established yet. In the event you want to view the movie at a later date, this link will take you to the 'Now Playing' section of ArcLight's website so you can find more information as it becomes available.
