“Bottle Shock”, the 2008 Indy film very loosely based on George Taber’s Judgment in Paris, retells the “stunning upset” of unknown California wines from Chateau Montelena and Stag’s Leap over some of France’s fabled icons such as Haut-Brion and Mouton Rothschild in a blind 1976 Paris tasting with the crème de la crème of the French wine establishment as judges. The movie, starring Alan Rickman and Bill Pullman, briefly mentions Milwaukee.
Maurice: I just read an article that said California is gonna produce wine that will rival the finest of the French. And when that happens, I'm going home.
Steven Spurrier: No offense, but I don't foresee the imminent cultivation of the Chicago vine.
Maurice: I'm from Milwaukee.
