Zesty and refined, this Sauvignon Blanc captures the charm of a beloved musical. Leslie Caron delights as Gigi, a young Parisian girl coming of age in a world of elegance and expectation. Maurice Chevalier stars as Honoré Lachaille in a comeback role that returned him to the spotlight. And let’s not forget the city of Paris, which, thanks to director Vincente Minnelli, takes on a starring role of its own as it radiates cinematic magic. A true crowd-pleaser, the film earned nine Academy Awards including Best Picture.

This white born of red grapes dazzles with intrigue. Bright but seductive, its bold profile mirrors the two suave con artists who meet their match in a Parisian heiress. Directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Miriam Hopkins, Herbert Marshall and Kay Francis, this pre-code gem sparkles with wit and innuendo. It remains a masterclass in elegance, chemistry and “the Lubitsch Touch.”

Like the label's namesake dragonfly, this Riesling glides across the palate. It’s the perfect match for a story steeped in childhood wonder, where forest spirits, hidden worlds and fleeting moments create a lasting spell. This gem catapulted both director Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli to global prominence and firmly established both their places in cinematic history.

La Chiamata translates to The Calling. With a depth that lingers, this red is well suited to the story of a woman who is drawn to a life of service only to find it more challanging than first imagined. Directed by Fred Zinnemann, it is features a restrained but powerful performance from Audrey Hepburn. A moving portrait of duty, discipline, and doubt, this classic drama earned eight Academy Award nominations.

Graceful and high-altitude in flavor and spirit, this Chilean Viognier offers a brightness that makes it an ideal pairing for one man’s ascent into history. James Stewart brings quiet gravity to his portrayal of Charles Lindbergh, capturing the isolation and wonder of his legendary solo flight. With Billy Wilder at the helm, the film is a testament to human endurance.

Charlton Heston stars as the titular character, a man on a journey from vengeance to grace. Directed by William Wyler, this thinking man's epic was, at the time, the grandest and most expensive film ever produced. Both audiences and critics responded enthusiastically, with the film sweeping the 1959 Academy Awards. This luscious white brims with vibrancy and makes an excellent complement to the larger-than-life tale.

What better to pair with this full-bodied and vibrant Australian red than this popular Western romance from the Australian New Wave. Directed by George Miller and starring Kirk Douglass, it is the second adaptation of Australian poet A.B. "Banjo" Paterson's 1890 poem about the search for a prizewinning racehorse in the mountains of New South Wales. It became an instant hit in its home country and is still one of its biggest box office success. Enjoy this rich drama with this equally bold red.

This light and lively white sparkles with personality, making it a perfect match for this offbeat Western where wit and sparks fly. Directed by Don Siegel, this cult favorite stars Clint Eastwood and the irrepressible Shirley MacLaine as Sister Sara, whom he reluctantly escorts across the desert. Eastwood plays against type with surprising ease while MacLaine brings playful charm to an irreverent role.

With French finesse and a whisper of smoke, this Pinot Noir brings subtle tension to the glass. It is a natural fit for a story in which a contract killer finds himself a pawn in a world of betrayal and uneasy alliances. Alan Ladd, in his first major role, commands the screen with quiet menace. He presence is juxtaposed against the cool allure of Veronica Lake. The film has become a noir cornerstone, influencing generations of antiheroes that followed.

Just like a young bride haunted by the shadow of a woman she never knew, this Malbec carries mystery under its floral elegance.

A Little Romance (1979). In this enchanting story, a young American girl finds herself navigating the joys and challenges of love while exploring the beauty of Paris. Directed by George Roy Hill, it features a teenage Diane Lane whose romance is aided by an older pickpocket played by Laurence Olivier. Released to lackluster reviews, it has since grown a devoted following. The film's whimsical and heartwarming nature mirrors the characteristics of this smooth and fun Malbec, bringing a little of touch of elegance to the experience.

Horror of Dracula (1958). Hammer, a small British studio, started a horror renaissance when it began reimagining genre classics in full color. This adaptation followed The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), which also featured the classic acting duo of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Here, Cushing stars as vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing opposite Lee as the title character. The film was such a great success that the studio cancelled all non-horror films in their pipeline and began working on other soon-to-be horror classics. This deep, dark red wine pays homage to a favorite vampire incarnation, the bat. Its bold, strong flavors make it a well-suited viewing companion.

Gorgo (1961). Named after the dinosaur fossils and ancient boulders strewn among the vineyard, Stones & Bones Sauvignon Blanc stands tall among the competition. The same can be said of this standout, low-budget creature feature which delivers on dinosaur action in a big way. The story tells the tale of a giant reptile brought back to New York for exhibition after an expedition in parts unknown. Tom Howard's visual effects helped elevate the film to cult status, as does the cinematography of Freddie Young, who would move onto David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia in the following year.

Knights of the Round Table (1954). MGM’s first film shot in CinemaScope is a vibrant retelling of the Arthurian legend, featuring Mel Ferrer as King Arthur, Ava Gardner as Queen Guinevere and Robert Taylor as Sir Lancelot. Richard Thorpe’s grand direction, paired with lavish costumes and stunning on-location sets, brings Camelot’s timeless romance to life. Just as the film layers legend and romance, this white wine offers a lush, textured experience that complements the allure of the legendary kingdom.

Fallen Idol (1948). In this suspenseful drama, a young boy’s innocent admiration for the family butler becomes clouded by misunderstandings leading to dangerous consequences. With Ralph Richardson’s captivating performance as the devoted servant and Carol Reed’s masterful (mis)direction, the film unfolds in a world of complex moral dilemmas and misperceptions. This rich Primitivo, with its smooth and dark character, aligns perfectly with the multi-layered story. Both will capture your attention until the end.

Father of the Bride (1950). In this beloved family comedy, a doting father finds himself overwhelmed as his daughter prepares for her wedding. With Spencer Tracy bringing warmth and humor to the role, and Elizabeth Taylor glowing as the young bride, Vincente Minnelli’s direction captures both the hilarity and tenderness of this family event. Earning three Academy Award nominations—including Best Actor for Tracy and Best Picture—this classic was an instant hit. The movie’s joyful, yet chaotic, energy complements this deliciously crisp Italian bubbly that adds a touch of sophistication and sparkle.

Cat People (1942). A B-movie that rose above its limitations to become a suspense and horror classic. A response to Universal's The Wolf Man (1941), RKO's story of lycanthropy relied more heavily on suggestion and imagination than makeup and special effects. The first feature produced by Val Lewton, the film is a perfect match for this smooth and imaginative red blend with its own distinctive notes of passion and intrigue.

Gidget (1959). An Australian wine that can be described as "sunshine in a glass" calls for a sunny, smile-inducing movie. With a contagiously effervescent Sandra Dee as the teen surfer, this hit film helped to bring Southern Californian culture to the masses. Its popularity led to two sequels and a television series that launched the career of Sally Field.

Cool Hand Luke (1967). This cool South African Sauvignon Blanc helps to create an easygoing, relaxed mood, which is a nice complement to the cool but rebellious namesake of this 1967 classic. It stars Paul Newman as a free-spirited convict who refuses to let his spirit be broken while serving two years on a Southern chain gang. Directed by Stuart Rosenberg, it also features a standout performance by George Kennedy, who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as fellow convict, Dragline.
