Scoop: Jim Barrett has sacrificed everything in life to realize his dream of creating the perfect Chateau Montelena. Yet despite the fact that Jim's Napa Valley vineyard has great potential, his son, Bo, doesn't seem to have much interest in the family business. The year is 1976 and California has yet to make it on to wine connoisseur’s radar but this father and son team’s lives are forever transformed at a blind Paris wine tasting that introduces the world to the extraordinary wines of Napa Valley.
If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: This is straight out of a post card with the rolling hills, young couple...drunk off wine. Can't you just hear Barry White in the background, "Let's get it onnnn." If this cheers is post-Paris wine tasting they're saying, "Here's to being very, very rich. Our kids will be rich. And their kids will be rich."
