Bottle Shock

00:02:24 It wasn't always like this.
00:02:26 Before Paris,
00:02:28 I mean, my friends did, but you could
00:02:33 Hell, we were farmers, sort of.
00:03:02 # When the sun comes up
00:03:06 # Down around San Antone #
00:03:09 # And the folks are risin'
00:03:13 # Round about their homes ##
00:03:19 I guess I'm late.
00:03:23 I told him you were
00:03:26 I don't think he bought that one.
00:03:32 Come on, Ken. You know I don't come
00:03:36 - What's wrong with the old grape press?
00:03:40 It's not about getting it done.
00:03:44 It's about making the best
00:03:46 Jim...
00:03:49 I have no interest
00:03:52 But maybe it's time
00:03:55 You want me to sign every page?
00:04:01 This is your third loan.
00:04:03 You default,
00:04:18 Bonjour, madame.
00:04:22 You see, Maurice...
00:04:25 just as Degas used paint...
00:04:29 Rodin used bronze...
00:04:31 Debussy, the piano...
00:04:33 Baudelaire, language...
00:04:36 so HenriJayer and Philippe de Rothschild
00:04:41 Great wine is great art, my friend.
00:04:45 I am, in effect, a shepherd...
00:04:48 whose mission is
00:04:51 another form of great art...
00:04:53 and to guide...
00:04:55 its appreciation... thereof.
00:04:59 Well, a shepherd...
00:05:04 by definition, needs a flock.
00:05:07 And a business, by necessity...
00:05:12 needs customers.
00:05:14 So, if I were to subscribe
00:05:19 would you be considered a customer?
00:05:24 No.
00:05:27 No, I would be considered...
00:05:29 an enthusiastic... advocate.
00:05:47 - Steven Spurrier.
00:07:49 That's oaky.
00:07:51 Oh, yeah.
00:07:55 And smoky. l-
00:07:57 I detect bacon fat...
00:08:02 laced... with honey melon.
00:08:11 Oh, yes.
00:08:13 And a fine, smooth finish.
00:08:19 - I'm gonna have to make some changes.
00:08:23 I have to actually
00:08:27 - Why?
00:08:31 - Aha.
00:08:33 You've got it all mixed up.
00:08:37 a school whose mandate,
00:08:41 is to educate on wine.
00:08:43 And what do you have
00:08:45 One Chianti and three Rieslings.
00:08:47 The rest are all French.
00:08:50 It might as well be
00:08:53 But even if it was
00:08:56 it should seek to present its subject
00:09:01 What about the rest
00:09:04 I just read an article
00:09:06 is gonna produce wine that will rival
00:09:10 And when that happens,
00:09:14 No offense, but I don't foresee...
00:09:17 the imminent cultivation
00:09:24 I'm from Milwaukee.
00:09:28 Oh, crap.
00:09:32 I was hoping for more.
00:09:34 Shh, shh.
00:09:37 Hey. We're racking the wine again.
00:09:41 Dad, you gotta be kidding me.
00:09:45 Outside. Now.
00:09:47 No one in the valley racks
00:09:50 We do.
00:09:52 Huh? Huh?
00:09:54 - Oh, yeah?
00:09:56 Whoa.
00:09:58 We've racked the wine five times.
00:10:04 Come on. Aren't we fighting?
00:10:07 Come on. Mike says we're gonna
00:10:10 Huh? That chardonnay
00:10:13 Hell, we'll set
00:10:30 Who the hell is that?
00:10:37 Ah. I made it.
00:10:41 Can I help you?
00:10:43 - Yeah, I'm Sam.
00:10:47 Your eager and willing intern?
00:10:51 - You're Sam?
00:10:56 - Your tire's shot.
00:10:59 But you know what I discovered?
00:11:02 Yeah, I made it all the way from
00:11:05 Oh, God.
00:11:18 - Ow.
00:11:21 Yeah, no, no. l-
00:11:23 I mean, " the world
00:11:27 and, uh, afterward many are stronger
00:11:32 - Hemingway, right?
00:11:35 Yeah, originally.
00:11:44 Come here. I just wanna
00:11:46 Just take a second.
00:11:53 So let's say you're strolling down the street.
00:11:57 Yours...
00:12:00 or mine?
00:12:03 Well, it depends if you're looking for
00:12:07 Well, maybe so.
00:12:09 But Pierre Tari seeks out
00:12:12 Promotion, Stevie boy.
00:12:15 That's the key to any
00:12:18 - Promotion.
00:12:22 - Yes.
00:12:25 of the Association
00:12:28 Yes again.
00:12:30 Maurice, I have an idea.
00:12:34 - You sure he's in there?
00:12:37 Every Tuesday.
00:12:39 I see him.
00:13:03 Ah. Uh-
00:13:39 No.
00:13:43 Well?
00:13:45 - Done.
00:13:48 - He agreed, huh?
00:13:52 - Like what?
00:13:57 You mean you have to pay him?
00:13:59 I will be making a charitable contribution
00:14:02 Ah. Hey, maybe it'll get you
00:14:08 - Blind tasting, huh?
00:14:10 Sends out a message of impartiality.
00:14:12 I don't think Tari and the otherjudges
00:14:15 between a Mouton Rothschild
00:14:19 If the French lose,
00:14:21 Every great entrepreneurial
00:14:25 What about publicity, huh?
00:14:28 He's a great writer.
00:14:31 Huh. The well-known wine journal.
00:14:34 It's too American. Too up itself.
00:14:37 - You mean the French outlets.
00:14:40 It will lend itself
00:14:43 that appeal to
00:14:45 I'll call George.
00:14:50 Wow. Would you look at that?
00:14:52 This article's all about
00:14:56 Maurice, this doesn't
00:14:59 It's because George
00:15:01 And how do you substantiate
00:15:03 And how do you substantiate
00:15:04 - Has George ever written about wine?
00:15:07 That'll be a no then.
00:15:15 Complex and a bit woolly.
00:15:18 I think it's a seducer.
00:15:21 I'm going to California to try and find
00:15:25 The wines will have to arrive a month
00:15:29 Are you saying that wine gets jet lag?
00:15:33 No. It gets what is commonly
00:15:36 Which might, of course, improve it.
00:15:45 So this is it.
00:15:48 Uh, grocery store.
00:15:51 Nice.
00:15:52 - This is Gustavo.
00:15:56 Hey, hey, boy.
00:15:59 Chico.
00:16:01 Check my back.
00:16:04 Yeah, you. Come on. Check my back.
00:16:07 Stop, stop.
00:16:12 Oh, shit.
00:16:14 Apologize.
00:16:17 - Let go of my antenna.
00:16:22 - If you put a crinkle in that-
00:16:25 - Who do you think you are, Cesar Chavez?
00:16:40 - Should we run?
00:16:45 Hey. Hey. Hey, man, my friend doesn't
00:16:50 But he also doesn't wanna be addressed
00:16:53 that imply some sort of genetic
00:16:56 or that are simply used out of some
00:17:07 That was a good shot.
00:17:09 Some solid force behind it. But let me give you
00:17:12 - Don't telegraph your moves, man.
00:17:15 - Change things up on me. Come on!
00:17:18 Ooh! And now I got your number.
00:17:22 Excuse me. Big guy, if I may?
00:17:25 - Hi. Hi.
00:17:28 Have you considered that you might
00:17:32 I mean, when you think about it,
00:17:36 Why are you swinging at Bo who was really
00:17:40 It's just- It's not logical to me.
00:17:42 - She's right.
00:17:45 Do we really need to fight to
00:17:49 Keep on movin', man. Come on.
00:17:51 - Hippies.
00:17:54 I didn't even bleed. Ha!
00:17:57 Rock]
00:18:00 Something I can help you with?
00:18:03 No.
00:18:09 I can't believe you did that!
00:18:12 - Ice!
00:18:21 - Hey, Bo.
00:18:24 You didn't call. Having trouble
00:18:29 Yeah.
00:18:32 - So you're a Joe?
00:18:35 Left the place to me.
00:18:39 Oh, three.
00:18:42 So, why Montelena?
00:18:47 Well, you have good history
00:18:50 They like our dirt.
00:18:52 Well, dirt was good enough
00:18:55 when he went and bought
00:19:01 - 254.
00:19:03 and... yours was the
00:19:07 Well, you know, history does judge
00:19:11 And the ones he avoids.
00:19:15 Life lessons from a surf bum
00:19:19 I am here because I wanna learn...
00:19:21 everything there is to know
00:19:25 Hear! Hear!
00:19:27 Oh, Gustavo is very modest when
00:19:31 of racist truckers twice his size.
00:19:33 - Modesty is the virtue of slaves.
00:19:39 Gustavo Brambila was raised
00:19:43 He has our valley's grapes
00:19:46 If you pour this Mexican hombre
00:19:49 he can tell you how much cabernet
00:19:52 He can even tell you the vintage.
00:19:55 Bullshit.
00:19:58 - Bullshit!
00:20:02 Hey, Joe.
00:20:05 What have you got in the back room?
00:20:08 - You got money?
00:20:11 Pick any three for me
00:20:19 Hey, listen.
00:20:22 I take 60% off the top, okay?
00:20:24 - What? I gotta buy the wine.
00:20:28 - Mm-mmm.!
00:20:31 She's gotta sleep eventually.
00:20:34 Yeah.
00:20:37 Hey, everybody.
00:20:39 Who here wants to wager a little money
00:20:44 son of an immigrant field hand...
00:20:49 can't guess what kind of grapes
00:20:51 that our kind bartender
00:20:54 Fuck you. Fifty percent.
00:20:56 Don't break my antenna.
00:20:59 Any asshole can tell a merlot
00:21:02 Yeah, maybe. But can any asshole
00:21:05 All right. Ten bucks.
00:21:09 - Ten bucks. It's hardly worth the trouble.
00:21:15 And I get to slow dance with her.
00:21:17 You're on.!
00:21:19 I want 20% for that.
00:21:22 - I'll give up 10 if you give up 10.
00:21:26 All right. I'm flush!
00:21:27 Gentlemen, action if you
00:21:45 It's cabernet.
00:21:48 - Yep.
00:21:55 - Ridge.
00:21:57 - Let's see the bottle.
00:22:03 Dances like a lullaby
00:22:06 Sonoma. Pinot noir.
00:22:11 1962...
00:22:16 Buena Vista.
00:22:17 - Yep.
00:22:21 - Attaboy, Stav. Go get 'em, baby.
00:22:28 I can't tell you whether
00:22:40 Oh, dear God.
00:22:44 I can't say because...
00:22:47 it's a 1947 Cheval Blanc.
00:22:49 About half merlot,
00:22:54 - Amazing!
00:22:57 Yes.! Thank you.! Yes.!
00:23:01 1947 Cheval Blanc,
00:23:09 Very nice.
00:23:11 - Thanks.
00:23:14 Twenty, 40, 60, 70...
00:23:16 80, 90...
00:23:19 $100.
00:23:21 - Sweet!
00:23:25 How 'bout we throw in
00:23:29 - Enjoy.
00:23:32 I believe you owe her 10 too.
00:23:36 - Oh.
00:23:38 Hey. I thought you were gonna lead
00:23:42 No, Joe switched 'em.
00:23:44 Yeah. I mean-
00:23:47 - For the Cheval.
00:23:52 Hand over my 10.
00:23:54 Thank you.
00:23:56 Rock]
00:24:25 Who is it?
00:24:27 It's, uh, me, Gustavo.
00:24:39 Sorry. Did I wake you?
00:24:43 Maria Callas and I,
00:24:49 I need to check the wine.
00:24:52 Someday we'll do this
00:24:56 I think I'd sleep much better
00:25:31 - I think it's time to bottle.
00:25:36 The wine in the glass
00:25:42 Taste that wine.
00:25:45 Tell me if you still would
00:26:08 Not bad.
00:26:10 When can we tell people?
00:26:14 Soon.
00:26:17 Soon.
00:27:06 Oh, for Christ's sake!
00:27:10 Stupid "assing" car!
00:27:19 Of all the stupid shit!
00:27:55 I got a better jack in the truck.
00:28:00 Oh, yes. And a first-aid box
00:28:05 Ah. Alls we'll need is the spare.
00:28:11 So, the Académie du Vin in Paris...
00:28:14 is gonna give people instruction
00:28:18 Part of my thinking, yes.
00:28:20 I just have to be sure I'm not introducing
00:28:24 Well, there are plenty
00:28:28 - You don't have to worry about that.
00:28:30 My definition of palatable might be
00:28:36 Why is that?
00:28:37 Oh, years of total immersion
00:28:41 devoted to its enological endeavors.
00:28:45 One can't just decide to be a vintner,
00:28:49 - There are dynasties at play.
00:28:53 I rest my case.
00:28:55 - You're a snob.
00:28:59 It limits you.
00:29:03 Well, thanks for your help,
00:29:05 Barrett. Jim Barrett.
00:29:10 conveniently, of course.
00:30:27 Can I help you?
00:30:29 Mr. Barrett.
00:30:33 I didn't introduce myself.
00:30:40 - What do you want?
00:30:46 - No.
00:31:19 Rich, round, layers of tangerine...
00:31:26 peach.
00:31:35 Andjust a kiss of oak.
00:31:38 Like I said, people make some
00:31:45 - That's why I'm here.
00:31:49 Because the world, or anybody who's at all
00:31:54 tends to think of us as a bunch of hicks
00:31:59 True enough.
00:32:01 You know, I don't know about you.
00:32:07 But one thing we've learned around here is
00:32:11 So I won't speak for them.
00:32:13 They might wanna be involved.
00:32:16 So I'll make some calls.
00:32:18 That's very magnanimous of you.
00:32:22 How much do I owe you?
00:32:35 You took money for a tasting?
00:32:38 Yeah.
00:32:40 - Is that some new policy we have?
00:33:00 Hey, Bo.
00:33:02 Did you grow up in Napa?
00:33:05 No, I came here after high school.
00:33:07 - Is it your father's idea to give me a tour?
00:33:10 - What's your position at the vineyard?
00:33:13 Oh. And you?
00:33:16 I am the intern to the cellar rat.
00:33:19 #Freedom don't come easy, babe #
00:33:23 # When your spirit's
00:33:27 # And when you're faced with
00:33:30 - # You gotta know where to go #
00:33:33 Karen Thompson's new winery.
00:33:37 A woman?
00:33:40 Yeah, we embrace the enological talents
00:33:45 Oh.
00:33:47 Good to know, Bo.
00:33:49 # Sun and the stars are
00:33:53 # Leadin'the way
00:33:55 He wants to pay for the tasting?
00:33:58 My dad says take his money.
00:34:02 # Mm-hmm #
00:34:05 # Leadin'the way
00:34:09 # Showin'the way
00:34:14 Mr. Robbins.
00:34:17 for this, uh, French wine snob?
00:34:19 He doesn't think
00:34:22 - Sure thing. Wanna grab it yourself, Bo?
00:34:27 # Mm-hmm #
00:34:32 You can leave your money
00:34:40 So you're having a contest.
00:34:42 I suppose you could call it that.
00:34:44 You're going to be
00:34:53 # Mm-hmm #
00:34:56 # Yeah #
00:35:01 - Thank you, Mr. Barrett.
00:35:03 - Thank you.
00:35:06 - There he is.
00:35:09 Mr. Spurrier. Mr. Spurrier.
00:35:13 Hello, everybody.
00:35:16 I'll need some bottled water,
00:35:20 Wow, that was interesting in
00:35:24 Uh, some water biscuits
00:35:27 And then I'll meet you all
00:35:30 I'll be right here.
00:35:33 - What now?
00:35:37 Get a burger, or maybe...
00:35:39 we just go somewhere,
00:35:42 No, I'd rather clean the thrasher.
00:35:45 # Yeah ##
00:35:47 Yeah, let's get a burger then.
00:35:49 Where the hell am I
00:36:15 #I recall once upon a time #
00:36:20 # Livin'was so easy
00:36:27 # But my, my, my #
00:36:30 # Right before my very eyes #
00:36:32 Hey.
00:36:37 No.
00:36:38 Are you gonna help me with this,
00:36:42 Nah.
00:36:52 # Thirty minutes after
00:37:05 I'll talk to you later, all right, dude?
00:37:27 Do you have any ambition at all?
00:37:30 Uh-
00:37:32 Uh, I don't know.
00:37:35 See the Dead live at the Cow Palace?
00:37:39 Not really, no.
00:37:44 Maybe it's all my fault.
00:37:48 Maybe it's all been too easy for ya.
00:37:52 I don't think so.
00:37:54 Really, I don't.
00:38:06 You have until the end of the year.
00:38:08 You go back to school,
00:38:12 or you're outta here
00:38:16 Okay?
00:38:18 I'll think about it.
00:38:21 And you have to get a scholarship
00:38:24 You're not that broke.
00:38:26 We need 10 more barrels. You know
00:38:30 You don't have money for barrels?
00:38:33 We can't afford four new tires
00:38:35 I heard you only need three.
00:38:40 And we owe the bank.
00:38:44 You wanna fight?
00:38:46 Which one were you with today?
00:38:51 Shelly.
00:38:54 Shelly who?
00:39:04 - I don't know.
00:39:12 How could you not know?
00:39:15 You probably slept with her too!
00:39:22 I slept with the person,
00:39:25 Oh, God, Bo.
00:39:27 It's 1976.
00:39:39 # I'm walking in shadows
00:39:43 # Faces, they smile
00:39:49 # Doors without windows

00:39:57 # I just might
00:40:03 # I just might
00:40:08 # I just might
00:40:11 # I just might
00:40:13 Is that Orion's belt?
00:40:17 I have no idea.
00:40:24 You know that Woodstock
00:40:29 That long, huh?
00:40:32 # I'm walking in shadows
00:40:38 Do you think I'm a loser?
00:40:42 Well, I mean, pretty much
00:40:46 I haven't made up my mind yet.
00:40:55 I think I should do
00:40:59 Probably wouldn't be a bad idea.
00:41:09 # The night, she is hot #

00:41:28 # I just might
00:41:57 - So what did he think?
00:41:59 The tea bag, the Brit.
00:42:04 Did he like your wine?
00:42:08 Come on, Gustavo.
00:42:12 You think I wouldn't find out?
00:42:17 - l- I thought you'd be mad.
00:42:22 You should have been
00:42:29 I'd like for you to try it.
00:42:32 Nope.
00:42:34 You're on your own now, kid.
00:42:39 Are you firing me?
00:42:42 I can't afford you anyway.
00:42:45 Come on, Jim.
00:42:50 When your focus is elsewhere,
00:42:54 And your focus has been
00:43:02 You people.
00:43:07 You think you can just...
00:43:13 Take a few lessons.
00:43:16 Grow some grapes.
00:43:20 You cannot do it that way.
00:43:23 All right, all right.
00:43:24 You have to have it in your blood.
00:43:27 You have to grow up with the soil
00:43:32 and the smell of the grape
00:43:36 The cultivation of the vine
00:43:39 The refinement of its juice
00:43:41 that requires pain...
00:43:44 and desire and sacrifice.
00:43:48 Amen.
00:43:55 My father knew that.
00:43:58 He was a field hand and he never had
00:44:04 I know that.
00:44:07 And I'm gonna make it
00:44:25 Thanks, dude.
00:44:28 Oh, yeah. Careful, dude.
00:44:31 Thank you, sir.
00:44:59 Mom.
00:45:01 Bo. Hi!
00:45:03 - How are you?
00:45:05 Mm-hmm.
00:45:10 Mr. Relyea.
00:45:19 Bill.
00:45:25 Brian will be really excited that we saw you, Bo.
00:45:29 - How is Brian?
00:45:32 He loves Yale. Your mom says that
00:45:35 Have you given up school then?
00:45:41 The arts program is thriving
00:45:47 ... such great things for those kids.
00:45:51 I guess you boys
00:45:56 Oh, we eat. We do.
00:45:59 We're getting together, um, for dinner
00:46:04 Um, oh, hey, I'd love to,
00:46:09 Yeah, I gotta get back.
00:46:13 There's -There's so much
00:46:17 - Honey.
00:46:19 - Tell me how much you need-
00:46:22 so we can get on to the more pleasant
00:46:25 Come on.
00:46:51 Check it out.
00:46:53 - Yeah? You need help?
00:46:56 Hop on.
00:47:00 You said that to him?
00:47:04 Yeah.
00:47:06 Shit.
00:47:09 What are you gonna do now?
00:47:14 I'm not sure.
00:47:16 Can I try it?
00:47:19 Your wine?
00:47:23 It, uh...
00:47:26 made Señor Garcia cry.
00:47:30 Then again, he was listening
00:47:39 I got some Portuguese sardines...
00:47:42 and crackers inside.
00:47:46 You think this goes well with fish?
00:47:51 Yeah. Yeah, l- I think so.
00:47:53 Good.
00:47:57 Hey, Sam.
00:48:00 - Yeah.
00:48:05 - Why not?
00:48:10 - That's sweet.
00:48:14 You're worried about me.
00:48:22 To Gustavo Brambila...
00:48:25 renegade...
00:48:28 who worships
00:48:32 And can't afford a full tank of gas.
00:49:55 Sam!
00:49:59 - Hey.
00:50:03 We gotta get out
00:50:05 Uh, yeah.
00:50:18 Bo!
00:50:24 Bo!
00:50:38 Hey. Just a little lighter
00:51:11 - Where's Bo?
00:51:15 He took the truck.
00:51:19 He didn't come by to pick you up?
00:51:21 Yeah, but I wasn't about to dive
00:51:36 Well, Sam, this is where wine
00:51:40 And the vineyard's best fertilizer
00:51:46 It's alluvial, sedimentary,
00:51:51 - Dry.
00:51:54 You want to limit the irrigation
00:51:57 intensifies the flavor.
00:52:00 A comfortable grape, a well-watered,
00:52:05 grows into a lazy ingredient
00:52:13 So, from hardship
00:52:18 For a grape.
00:52:44 "Wine is sunlight...
00:52:47 held together by water. "
00:52:52 The poetic wisdom of the Italian physicist,
00:52:57 Galileo Galilei.
00:53:09 It all begins with the soil...
00:53:12 the vine, the grape.
00:54:00 The smell of the vineyard.
00:54:04 Like inhaling birth.
00:54:07 It awakens some... ancestral...
00:54:11 some... primordial-
00:54:17 Anyway, some deeply imprinted...
00:54:19 and probably subconscious place...
00:54:23 in my soul.
00:55:49 Everything all right here?
00:55:51 These Californian wines...
00:55:56 are all... so good.
00:56:01 What were you expecting?
00:56:03 Thunderbird?
00:56:34 - What did you do?
00:56:36 - What'd you do?
00:56:38 Huh?
00:56:40 - You send them back, all right?
00:56:43 - Just send them back.
00:56:45 No. No, goddamn it!
00:56:48 I just want to- to-
00:56:50 God.
00:56:52 To not fail at this.
00:56:54 To not completely fail.
00:56:58 Oh, God.
00:57:01 Are you okay?
00:57:03 Yeah. Just-
00:57:10 Don't -
00:57:12 Just don't ever pull
00:57:19 I solved the problem.
00:57:21 Oh. I owe her now.
00:57:23 - Think of it as a gift.
00:57:26 Why? Because you might
00:57:28 - I don't wanna owe anybody.
00:57:31 Pay her back if you want. Or not.
00:57:34 Whatever. She's not gonna
00:57:36 I'd rather owe 10 banks
00:57:41 Oh, by the way, I fired Gustavo.
00:57:44 What? Wh-Why would you do that?
00:57:48 He's running his own operation now.
00:57:50 What are you talking about?
00:57:53 Ask him.
00:57:55 Knock, knock.
00:57:59 Whoa.
00:58:03 Putting some blood
00:58:05 Can I help you?
00:58:08 Could I purchase two bottles
00:58:11 It's not ready.
00:58:18 I'll hold onto it.
00:58:21 Does this mean that you've picked
00:58:24 I'll be making a formal announcement
00:58:29 I can't spoil
00:58:31 Right. Wouldn't wanna
00:58:38 And when will this formal
00:58:43 In due course.
00:58:45 Why don't I like you?
00:58:48 'Cause you think I'm an asshole.
00:58:50 I'm just British,
00:58:56 l- It's because...
00:58:58 I think you've designed
00:59:02 to embarrass the Americans
00:59:05 - Why would I do that?
00:59:08 - make yourself more popular among your peers.
00:59:11 No. l-lf there's one thing I know...
00:59:14 it's people.
00:59:19 Well...
00:59:21 good to see you again.
00:59:37 You know, Montelena
00:59:39 What if we'd won?
00:59:43 They'd never let us win.
00:59:46 Who is "they"?
00:59:47 Him. The Brit.
00:59:50 They're in the French wine trade.
00:59:53 They're not looking to change that.
00:59:57 It's a mistake, Dad.
01:00:28 Man, this is the, uh-
01:00:32 - Don't be so melodramatic.
01:00:35 Taste it.
01:00:39 - Did you sleep with her?
01:00:43 - Admit it. Admit it.
01:00:46 - How many different girls have you been with-
01:00:48 Taste the wine, please.
01:00:56 Did the Brit like it?
01:01:01 He bought two bottles.
01:01:03 That says something.
01:01:04 Ten bucks.
01:01:10 Are you seeing her?
01:01:12 What does-What does that mean?
01:01:14 - You know exactly what that means.
01:01:18 She liked my wine.
01:01:21 - A lot. You know-
01:01:24 I can't believe you're jealous.
01:01:26 - Come on. I'm not jealous.
01:01:29 - I'm not.
01:01:32 Mmm. She was good.
01:01:36 - I've never had a girl say my name like that, right?
01:01:39 - Enough.
01:01:41 - Did you actually sleep with her?
01:01:44 Bullshit. I don't f-
01:01:48 Don't lay that rich guy bullshit on me.
01:01:56 - I'm out there 12 hours a day.
01:01:59 - Play? Oh, come on.
01:02:11 It's good.
01:02:13 Good?
01:02:14 What kind of an opinion is that?
01:02:17 A good one.
01:02:26 If I had been born with your privilege-
01:02:30 Excuse me?
01:02:33 I wouldn't have squandered it.
01:02:49 The white zone is for
01:02:54 - No parking.
01:02:57 Hey.
01:03:00 Bo. Are you going somewhere?
01:03:02 I'm sorry about my dad.
01:03:04 He can be a little, uh, impulsive.
01:03:06 - I could think of other words.
01:03:08 - pigheaded maybe?
01:03:11 I wanted you to have two bottles of
01:03:15 If you decide to choose them.
01:03:18 Is your father okay with this?
01:03:20 Ye-Yes.
01:03:23 Right.
01:03:25 Hello, and thank you for flying
01:03:28 My name is Becky.
01:03:30 - I will be traveling on Flight 349 to Paris this morning.
01:03:33 Just one.
01:03:35 And how many suitcases?
01:03:37 Also just one.
01:03:41 And, uh, these.
01:03:43 - What is in the box, sir?
01:03:46 - All the bottles are properly packed.
01:03:49 but F.A.A. rules only allow you
01:03:52 Beyond that, you have to make
01:03:55 These wines are scheduled
01:03:59 I can't have them
01:04:02 I'm so sorry.
01:04:04 Excuse me.
01:04:05 A lot of people waiting.
01:04:09 Sorry, sir.
01:04:13 People, can I have
01:04:17 Who in this line is going
01:04:23 Guten Morgen.
01:04:30 Ja.
01:04:34 They can each carry one.
01:04:37 Hello, everybody.
01:04:39 My family runs a small
01:04:42 - Is your last name Gallo?
01:04:44 No, sir. It's Barrett.
01:04:46 certain American vintners...
01:04:49 to compete in a tasting in Paris.
01:04:51 I am technically not French.
01:04:59 You think you can beat the French?
01:05:01 We don't know, but we, uh-
01:05:04 we certainly want a chance to try.
01:05:06 The only problem is we can't
01:05:10 See, I'm only allowed to carry on
01:05:14 uh, 26 bottles of wine back to Paris without
01:05:20 Will anybody carry a bottle for me?
01:05:22 I'll take one.
01:05:24 I'm always proud
01:05:26 I'll take one. I'll carry one for you. Sure.
01:05:29 Okay.
01:05:33 - Thank you so much.
01:05:36 Marvelous.
01:05:38 Treat these bottles with care,
01:05:41 - Thank you.
01:05:43 of all vintners in Napa Valley
01:05:46 And I'll meet you all
01:05:52 - Well done.
01:05:54 Safe flight.
01:06:06 Hi.
01:06:42 Oh, God.
01:06:44 Someone die?
01:06:49 - Yes!
01:06:56 What are you talking about? Even after
01:06:59 - That means something, Dad.
01:07:04 - Oh, Je-
01:07:07 - Yeah.
01:07:09 they won't show well.
01:07:14 Wine's in Paris.
01:07:17 I went to the airport
01:07:25 - You gave him my wine?
01:07:28 - I told you not to.
01:07:35 Pack your bags.
01:07:38 You're outta here, kid.
01:07:43 You're kicking me out.
01:07:46 I'm firing you.
01:08:05 Rock]
01:08:13 # Keep on driving me, baby #
01:08:50 Dad?
01:08:57 There he is.
01:09:00 What the hell's going on?
01:09:02 The prodigal son come to
01:09:05 I'm leaving.
01:09:10 And there's nothing left to leave.
01:09:18 Yeah, you're not the first.
01:09:20 I'm gonna call Sam.
01:09:21 She'll help you upstairs
01:09:24 - Hey. Take this bottle.
01:09:27 - Take the bottle.
01:09:28 Take the bottle and look at it
01:09:56 Why is it brown?
01:10:00 Every bottle in this room is brown.
01:10:04 Every single bottle.
01:10:08 Maybe Gustavo was right.
01:10:13 Maybe you gotta grow up
01:10:17 I don't - I don't know.
01:10:20 No.
01:10:22 You made this wine perfectly.
01:10:30 It tastes fine.
01:10:32 Yes, it does.
01:10:34 'Cause we made...
01:10:36 buttery...
01:10:38 beautifully layered...
01:10:43 beautifully balanced chardonnay.
01:10:48 And it's brown.
01:10:57 Now I gotta find a guy
01:11:00 because I can't stand
01:11:02 shit...
01:11:04 anymore.
01:11:09 Get outta here.
01:11:19 The French flag is a bit more prominent
01:11:23 Well spotted, Maurice.
01:11:25 Could you grab me a Bâtard-Montrachet
01:11:38 Do you see them?
01:11:49 Wine the color of shit.
01:11:53 Interesting.
01:12:03 Hey.
01:12:04 Rich, full-bodied...
01:12:11 - Does it taste brown too?
01:12:13 There's someone we need to go see.
01:12:15 - Come on. Give me the keys.
01:12:18 Get in the car, Bo.
01:12:34 Well, it's always hard to know what went wrong.
01:12:37 So many things can happen. But once it's
01:12:40 It's probably oxidized.
01:12:42 The taste becomes metallic.
01:12:45 But that's just it.
01:12:47 And my father's a perfectionist.
01:12:53 Did you bring a bottle?
01:13:08 I've read about it,
01:13:10 You can make a wine too perfectly.
01:13:14 This reductionist technique, excluding as much
01:13:17 after fermentation,
01:13:19 - Yeah, but- - But there's a natural
01:13:24 an enzyme that's neutralized if it comes
01:13:27 - Oh, my God.
01:13:28 If no oxygen gets in...
01:13:31 which is practically impossible,
01:13:35 But it's only temporary. Perils of perfection.
01:13:38 So what do we do?
01:13:41 Mmm. My understanding is
01:13:43 I'll bet by morning, back to normal.
01:13:45 - Wait. You're sure?
01:13:48 Absolutely. It tastes great.
01:13:50 - Thank you, sir. Go.
01:13:52 - Keep the bottle!
01:13:58 No. No, no, no.
01:14:00 What's that?
01:14:14 Come on.
01:14:18 - Gas would have been good.
01:14:22 Hey.
01:14:28 All right, Chevy. Huh?
01:14:31 Wanna stop for
01:14:34 Come on.
01:14:36 Hey, come on!
01:14:38 Hop out for just a sec, please?
01:14:40 Come on, come on,
01:14:42 Your decency, people?
01:14:49 - Sometimes it's about technique.
01:14:54 Can't you help?
01:15:03 - Oops.
01:15:06 That kind of indecent exposure
01:15:10 Excuse me. Officer. Officer. Uh, we need to
01:15:14 - I'll call you a tow truck.
01:15:18 Officer, I am being
01:15:21 Could you please arrest me
01:15:25 Excuse me, Officer.
01:15:27 Are you staring at her breasts?
01:15:29 - I really think he is.
01:15:31 Okay, okay. I'll- I'll drive you.
01:15:33 Just put your breasts away.
01:17:02 Shenky!
01:17:04 Shenky. My dad.
01:17:07 Found the old battle armor.
01:17:11 - Where's the chardonnay?
01:17:14 Probably on the bottom
01:17:37 Jim?
01:17:39 This way.
01:17:44 Hey. It's Jim.
01:17:46 Huh.
01:17:53 - Bill's with a client. He'll be right in.
01:17:57 Marge, this is not a gift, but...
01:18:01 could you put this behind your desk?
01:18:05 - What's this?
01:18:10 get another wild hair up my butt...
01:18:12 you can just hand me that bottle.
01:18:17 Jim, I am really sorry that things
01:18:24 - Uh-
01:18:42 - Jim.
01:18:53 When I was a kid, I had a dog.
01:18:56 Just a scruffy little thing. Brown, one ear
01:19:02 To me, that dog was a champion.
01:19:04 But as much as I tried,
01:19:07 never so much as an honorable mention
01:19:11 Huh.
01:19:13 I loved that dog.
01:19:15 But the world around me
01:19:17 To them, Pudge was just a...
01:19:20 scruffy, brown dog.
01:19:27 So, this, uh, hobby
01:19:31 Well, I've talked to the other partners,
01:19:34 we've agreed to have you back.
01:19:37 But not as a partner.
01:19:41 Ah.
01:19:47 I guess it's true.
01:19:51 I am a loser.
01:19:57 Yeah.
01:20:00 you got a good heart.
01:20:05 Well, so do you.
01:20:07 I know.
01:20:12 No, I had, uh- I had open-heart
01:20:17 And my mother
01:20:21 that my heart has a history and...
01:20:23 that that's what makes it special.
01:20:27 Well, that and the scar that I have.
01:20:31 So when the cop pulled over, you think it was the...
01:20:34 breasts or the scar?
01:20:36 I think it was the heart.
01:20:40 Oh, come on.
01:20:42 Looked like a breast man to me.
01:20:44 Stop it.
01:20:51 - Hey.
01:20:53 Hey.
01:20:55 Heard what happened.
01:20:59 Sorry.
01:21:02 You, uh...
01:21:04 told your dad yet?
01:21:07 - No.
01:21:10 500 cases of perfect wine...
01:21:15 dumped.
01:21:18 Blind taste test?
01:21:20 Not for me, Joe.
01:21:23 - I'm not in the mood for it now.
01:21:26 I bought a ton of
01:21:29 Tell me what you think.
01:21:45 Go ahead.
01:21:56 Bo, y-you gotta try this.
01:22:00 Bo, this is the best...
01:22:02 chardonnay I've ever tasted.
01:22:16 Two guys stopped
01:22:18 They had a bunch of wine
01:22:21 and they were wondering
01:22:24 by recycling the bottles.
01:22:32 Yeah. I'm a fan of recycling myself.
01:22:34 I offered 'em a few bucks
01:22:37 in the name of ecology,
01:22:39 - How much do you want for 'em?
01:22:44 Bill, it's Bo.
01:22:46 - Tell him I'll call him back.
01:22:49 - Tell him I'll call him tomorrow.
01:22:54 - Yeah.
01:22:57 500 cases of golden-colored
01:23:04 Dad.

01:30:01 Don't worry about it, kid.
01:30:03 - Oh, thank God.

01:30:09 My wine is not brown.
01:30:23 Voilà.
01:30:24 So, what do you think?
01:30:27 Where's the press?

01:30:34 One great journalist
01:30:40 - What's his name?
01:30:42 The great wine journalist.
01:30:45 George Taber.
01:30:47 George Taber?
01:30:50 He, uh, rarely takes credit.
01:31:12 Here's the wine list

01:39:59 Well, yeah, I guess, you know...
01:40:01 if you want to,
01:40:04 really not that pretty.
01:40:06 A statement?
01:40:08 I suppose, um-
01:40:12 I'd have to say that...
01:40:15 it's not bad
01:40:19 Yeah. Not too bad.
01:40:24 "Not bad for kids from the sticks."
01:40:26 - It's from California?
01:40:28 - Château Montelena.
01:40:30 It won. Excuse me.

01:41:41 No.
01:41:45 We have shattered the myth...
01:41:49 of the invincible French vine.
01:41:52 And...
01:41:55 not just in California.
01:41:58 We've opened the eyes of the world.
01:42:01 And you know what I say?
