Movies/Shows with Wine

R redvinoMember
Name a movie/show and a wine that was discussed or featured.

I will start with a couple:

1.) Sideways - 61 Cheval Blanc
2.) Man with the golden gun - Phuyuck and 64 Dom Perignon
3.) Friends - Silver Oak (SO is the master of PR)
4.) The Saint - 57 Latour (thanks to Darlene, see below) and when the waiter says its $$$, he says then we will have 2 bottles

Have some fun and lets see just how wine geeky we are about the movies we watch.

Entourage

Vince brings a 1999(?) HSS to Jessica Alba's party and Malcolm McDowell's character opens a 1959 Latour while trying to court Vince.

Isn't there a 1945 Mouton Rothschild (or maybe it is a '59... but I think it was the '45) in a James Bond movie where they are on a trian and he tricks the bad guy because he mentions that it is not a claret and the bad guy agrees (whereas, of course, it is a claret and Bond knows it). I think later in the same movie he comments that leave it to a Russian to order red wine with fish.

From the upcoming "Let's Go to Prison":

"Would you like some Murr-lo? I make it in the toilet."

I hear that goddam line EVERY time I visit the men's restroom at my office. Somebody put a promotional deodorant in the urinal that plays an audio commercial for the movie when it senses motion.
Confused

And I thought ads on non-rotating taxicab wheel attachments were annoying. That's Hollywood for you.

Sideways didn't put me off Merlot, but Let's Go To Prison very well might, and I probably won't even see it. ARRRGH!

Diamonds are Forever - not a train but a boat and 1955 Mouton

Their final attempt to kill Bond and Case takes place on a cruise liner after Bond foils Blofeld's plot. They pose as stewards in the couple's suite, serving them a romantic dinner consisting of Oysters Andaluz, shashlik, tidbits, prime rib au jus and Salade Utopia. Dessert is a Bombe Surprise - in the most literal sense, since a bomb is really hidden in it. However, Bond links the smell of Wint's cologne to his misadventure in the pipeline and quickly realizes that something is wrong. After tasting a glass of Mouton Rothschild '55, Bond casually remarks that he had expected a claret with such a grand dinner. When Mr. Wint replies that the cellars are unfortunately poorly stocked with clarets, Bond exposes the henchman's ignorance, sharply replying that Mouton Rothschild is in fact a claret.

From Russia with Love -

The classic exchange here was when Grant, the bad guy, orders a red Chianti with his fish dinner. Later, Bond says,

"Red wine with fish. Well, that should have told me something."

Grant replies back:

"You may know the right wines, but you’re the one on your knees."

Unfortunately, I think if Mr. Bond were to try this trick now, probably 50% or more of actual wine servers would make the same mistake. Frown

Las Vegas (Pilot episode)

James Caan invites Josh Duhamel to dinner after finding out he's dating (Caan's) daughter. He pours him a glass of '82 Petrus, making a point of annoucing what they're drinking. Duhamel gulps the wine down, says something like, "Not bad," and holds out his glass for another. Caan just has this classic look of shocked revulsion on his face, and protectively pulls the bottle back. Big Grin

I was watching Lucky Hank on AMC, featuring Bob Odenkirk, and I spotted a wine with which I am very familiar.

In Season 1, Episode 5, there is a dinner party where a certain label keeps popping up prominently. It is Kyle MacLachlan and Dunham Cellars, Pursued by Bear. This may be a deliberate choice by the show and actors, as the name itself is a stage direction from a Shakespeare play. I've enjoyed the wine many times, myself.
