Wine & Film Pairings (COMPILED 1)

Arggg!! Emily, I was clearly befuddled when writing that, as he's a character in a different Brando film (Streetcar). Still, I stick with my recommendation of cold, cheap beer -- in a car, of course.

Hi Emily,

OK, for completeness sake:

Only Arbois Trousseau with some age will flatter this special sausage.

Cheap Cotes du Rhone with a foil top and a healthy dollop of Methyl Alcohol? Authentic bar fare of the day, anyway.

HTH,

You've nothing to be ashamed about. I do. Here's the sad truth: I have both a B.F.A. and an M.F.A. in film. (ouch!) Emily

No, no, NO!

This calls for a wine _made_ by Andre (Tchelischeff, of course). Personally I'd choose the 1970 George de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet, but wouldn't reject the 1968.

Trying to fill in the blanks:

I think Laurel Glen Reds would be good for Battleship Potemkin, though it could work for On the Waterfront or Grapes of Wrath, too. (USSR)

1. Metropolis (GERMANY) I think there's a Rheinhessen winemaker called Lang?

1. Un Chien Andalou (FRANCE) Bonny Doon has a new wine called Exquisite Corpse

2. L'Avventura (ITALY) I prefer BlowUp or Red Desert. But I'd choose a rather modern-styled Italian wine, how about a Supertuscan?

1. The 400 Blows (FRANCE) A young French wine, I'd go for something a bit delicate but with a core of strength- a 2000 Bourgogne from a good maker (Chevillon, Lafarge, Bachelet, etc)

I've never seen Delicatessen or The Story of Boys and Girls, sadly Dale

Dale Williams Drop "damnspam" to reply

Don't know that one, but you did remind me of one I should have thought of:

-Lang 2000 Sauvignon Blanc Barrique Beerenauslese, Austria

(he's Helmut Lang, but i'm good with the last name)
