  • Participate in the judging and cast your vote
  • Chat with the people for whom the movie is based and get the inside scoop

Our guests for the evening will include Bo & Heidi Barrett and Gustavo Brambila, who won first place among white wines at the Paris Tasting with their Chateau Montelena Chardonnay. We'll also be joined by folks from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, whose Cabernet Sauvignon captured first place among red wines. Bottle Shock producers, Brenda & Marc Lhormer will even be on hand to give you a behind the scenes account of the filming.

You'll be part of the judging too, tasting four French wines and four American wines, then casting your vote for best red and best white. After the winning wines are selected, we'll hop aboard chartered buses for a short trip to the theater to view a private screening of the movie.

Your $75 ticket for the night includes the premium wine tasting at Crushpad, transportation to and from the theater and admission to the private movie screening. Be part of this exclusive event.
