The zippy, crisp flavors in Potter’s Bowl serve as great companion to this screwball comedy from Preston Sturges. The film stars Claudette Colbert as the wife of Joel McCrea, who uses her looks and charms to try to finance her husband’s career ambitions. Rounding out this hilarious film are Mary Astor, Rudy Vallée, and an entertaining assortment of screen antics.
A celebrated wine calls for a film of equal caliber. This classic ’60s drama stars Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn as a liberal couple whose ideals are tested when their daughter (Katharine Houghton) introduces them to her new fiancé, played by Sidney Poitier. Director Stanley Kramer was known for “message” movies that ask their audience to engage with the problems of society – while also being captivating entertainments.
This complex red, full of old world charm, pairs perfectly with a film steeped in European tradition. The story tells of a British butler who sacrifices his own happiness to fully commit to the service of his master and estate. This MerchantIvory drama starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson became an instant classic upon release. Rich with melancholic notes and historical tensions, it’s a compelling match for this robust wine.
This beloved film shares the experiences of two British athletes from different backgrounds as they train to compete in the 1924 Olympics. Though initially thought by some to be old-fashioned or niche, the film went on to win over both critics and moviegoers, ultimately nabbing the Academy Award for Best Picture. The vibrant, creamy flavors of this Chardonnay pair nicely with the movie’s inspirational story.
A hearty western calls for a hearty Cabernet. Starring John Wayne and directed by John Ford (one of 14 film collaborations!), this classic shares the story of a union cavalry officer on a mission behind enemy lines. Fruit & Spice, a bold red wine with its own strong profile, has a personality that stands confidently with this dominating filmmaking duo.
From 1956 to 1969, Elvis Presley incredibly starred in over 30 movies. Viva Las Vegas is one of his best as it perfectly captures the delight and charm of the Elvis mystique. Starring as race car driver who must work at a Vegas hotel to cover his expenses, Elvis falls for the captivating Ann-Margret. The result is a perfect onscreen duo. For another great pairing, pour a glass of this Cabernet; its vibrancy will help to keep you in step with The King’s.
Fox’s 1917 version of Cleopatra, starring the iconic Theda Bara, has unfortunately been lost to the ages. But the eminently enjoyable 1963 film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton is a fantastic and equally lavish substitute, containing one of the best interpretations of the Egyptian ruler’s story put to screen. At over four hours in length, it gives you plenty of time to savor this luscious white blend.
What better to pair with a Blues Brothers wine than the iconic movie after which it was named? Starring the unforgettable duo of John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as Jake and Elwood Blues, the film rightly sits in the pantheon of comedy classics. This full red blend will help put you into the mood for a fun and laugh-filled night.
