Caught the trailer for Bottle Shock last night when it ran before The Dark Knight. I joke that I’m a wine snob even though I’m not but I am a full-blown movie snob in every sense. Bottle Shock looks good and I’m pumped for it. Alan Rickman, Bill Pullman, and Dennis Farina usually turn in good stuff. Look! Napa! Before it was popular!
Other goings-on from around the local wine blogosphere because I’m too lazy to write a proper post:
Food and Wine Blog with tips on ordering wine from a restaurant. I’ll use them tonight when we hit Baltimore Restaurant Week.
1WineDude on Project 89, some bleeding heart winos saving 89-point wines from the depths of obscurity. I actually like them in obscurity because they cost less and are often as good or better than the 90 pointers.
Wannabe Wino visits Virginia’s newest wine addition: Barrel Oak Winery.
Virginia Vine Spot hits up Barrel Oak Winery and Miracle Valley Vineyards. How’d we ever win eight? It’s a miracle. It’s a miracle…

So, akin to Sideways, we just need to figured out what names get dropped, and then we’ll know what the wine trends of the coming year will be, right?
Anyone know who won this thing? I’m sure it’s common knowledge, but I wasn’t even born yet. Mondavi?

@Steve: I’d tell you but it may be spoilers for people who don’t know how the movie turns out. Wikipedia has a pretty big article on “Judgement of Paris” if you want to read about it now.
