Return
A number of directors, producers, cinematographers, actors and studio brass are making both motion pictures and wine. I gathered a few top examples from all over the world to taste with Peter. Here are the five we liked best.
2001 Carole Bouquet Passito di Pantelleria A gorgeous Sicilian dessert wine from French actress and Bond girl Carole Bouquet.
2000 Niebaum-Coppola Rubicon A rich, Bordeaux-style Napa blend from one of Peter's favorite directors, Francis Ford Coppola.
2000 Bedell Cupola Cellars New Line Cinema's Michael Lynne is behind this soft, approachable Merlot-Cab blend from Long Island.
2002 Sleeping Dogs Pinot Noir A pretty New Zealand red from Roger Donaldson, director of Cadillac Man ("Not my favorite film," Peter said).
2000 Frank Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve A dense Napa Cabernet ("But not a nightmare red," Peter declared—from him, the ultimate compliment). The man responsible for the wine is Rich Frank, the former president of Walt Disney Studios.
