Stones & Bones 2021
Classic Movie Pairing
Gorgo (1961)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.
