The weather outside is driving many of us into the air conditioning. Is it time for a summer movie night in the family room?
For wine lovers, here are some suggestions to enjoy a pleasant evening in the cooler air with a glass of lovely white Ohio wine like a Riesling, Gruner Veltner or unoaked Chardonnay in hand. Popcorn is optional.
There are dozens of wine-themed movies available to watch on streaming services like Amazon Prime, YouTube, Netflix and Hulu that can fill many sweltering evenings.
• “Year in Burgundy” — 2013: A movie about seven Burgundian families through a full year in the storied French region.
• “Somm” — 2012: A movie about four men trying to pass all requirements to be admitted to the Court of Master Sommeliers, one of the most difficult accomplishments in the entire world of wine.
• “Bottle Shock” — 2008: A movie about the famous 1976 “Judgment of Paris” where a handful of early California wine pioneers participated in a blind tasting with some of France’s most respected judges rating the California upstarts above some of the best of all French wines. The results shocked the wine world and are credited with the launch of the California wine industry onto the international stage.
• “Sideways” — 2004: The most acclaimed movie on this list. Miles and his friend Jack visit the Santa Barbara area, sipping Pinot Noir, visiting bars, restaurants and wineries, and get involved with some beautiful women along the way. The movie won nominations and awards from the Oscars, Screen Actors Guild and many others. However, from the wine industry perspective, it is well remembered for driving sales of Pinot Noir to new heights and tourism traffic to Southern California for decades.
• “Decanted” — 2016: A documentary that chronicles some of the earliest beginnings of Napa Valley told through the winemakers who helped build the storied reputation of the Valley.
• “Mondovino”: A 10-episode Prime video series all about winemaking and marketing around the world. Robert Parker, one of the most famous wine reviewers; Robert Mondavi, the visionary behind his family winery and behind the reputation for Napa itself and many others also contribute to the story.
• “Barolo Boys” — 2014: A documentary about Italian boys who look to make the best wine in the world. It is beautifully filmed in some of Italy’s most picturesque wine regions.
• “The Secret of Santa Vittoria” — 1969: This is the suspenseful story of a quiet village whose residents, amid death threats, hide a million bottles of wine in an ancient cave as the Nazis were retreating across the continent.
And if your summer evenings are full of family activities, perhaps print out the list and save them for a cold February night when a glass of Cab Franc might be more appropriate for the outside temperatures.
