推薦這部電影!
雖說美國Yahoo,把這部電影中的重大事蹟形容為:
America has proven itself to the world: Neil Armstrong setting foot on the Moon; the US Men's Hockey team beating the Soviet Union in the 1980 Olympics.以及本部電影主題,in 1976, a small American winery bested the exalted French wines of the time and sent the wine industry into a tizzy - putting California wines on the map for good!因為在一場法國品酒專家的盲測中,她打敗法國著名酒莊榮膺冠軍!一舉把加州Napa酒推上名酒的行列.
這是真實故事,而且20年後,故事再度重演!酒莊的父子兩代,老爸不做律師,放下身段堅持要釀出好酒,不斷的堅持且耗費家產以至瀕臨破產,兒子呢,是個遊手好閒的嘻皮.而籌劃這場盲測酒會的,是個事業面臨瓶頸的品酒師,他是個英國人,卻在法國的巴黎開店教人怎麼品酒,他隔壁是一個專做巴黎導覽的旅行社,老闆來自美國,沒事就往隔壁老英開的店品酒一番.
當他們品酒時,所用的術語,其實都很專業而且在咖啡界,也是這麼用的.
回頭看看劇情簡介:
Jim and Bo Barrett. A former real estate attorney, Jim sacrificed everything to realize his dream of creating the perfect hand-crafted chardonnay. His business, however, is struggling, and he's not only trying to overcome differences with his slacker son, but is also fighting off the creditors. Meanwhile in Paris, unwitting British wine shop owner Steven Spurrier hopes to revive his own failing business by sponsoring a competition which will pit the traditional French powerhouse against the California upstarts. Little did Steven and Jim realize that they were both on course to change the history of wine forever.
我在華航飛回台灣的行程上看到這部片,第一次看法文版,在法國品酒的場景確實貼切,但場景回到Napa就很突兀了,看完不過癮,我又重頭看一次,如果你對紅白酒有興趣,且對品酒術語與咖啡杯測有興趣,這真是一部值得欣賞的佳構.
