Classic Movie Pairing

The Falcon and the Snowman (1985)

The Falcon and the Snowman (1985). In this intense drama, the relationship between two friends unravels as they naively stumble deep into the world of Cold War espionage. Directed by John Schlesinger, it stars Timothy Hutton (the Falcon) as an ex-seminary student who partners with Sean Penn (the Snowman), a small time drug-dealer, to pass on government secrets to the Russians in a misguided attempt at an ethical deed. This Portuguese white wine with its own falcon identity is far from a misstep. The wine's vibrant and dynamic notes pair perfectly with this high-tension story of intrigue, betrayal and moral conflict.

Wine Flavor Profile

Lobo e Falcão is a light- to medium-bodied white wine with aromas of ripe peach, melon, orange blossom and a hint of spice. Expect more of the same on the palate, with a long refreshing finish.
Wine Spectator calls Portugal “the most exciting wine place on the planet.” This fresh, aromatic white hails from a sustainably run, historic 17th-century estate. Filled with elegant peach and spice notes, it’s lovely alongside Thai takeout.
