Bottle Shock Page #5

mister-

Barrett. Jim Barrett.

I own Chteau Montelena...

conveniently, of course.

Can I help you?

Mr. Barrett.

I didn't introduce myself.

Steven Spurrier.

- What do you want?

- To taste your chardonnay.

- No.

- Did I mention that the tasting was blind?

[Sniffs]

Rich, round, layers of tangerine...

peach.

- [Men Chattering In Spanish]

- [Spits]

Andjust a kiss of oak.

Like I said, people make some

pretty good wine in this area.

- That's why I'm here.

- Really?

Because the world, or anybody who's at all

conscious about what we're trying to do here...

tends to think of us as a bunch of hicks

taking on the French.

True enough.

You know, I don't know about you.

But one thing we've learned around here is

that if one person succeeds, we all succeed.

So I won't speak for them.

They might wanna be involved.

So I'll make some calls.

That's very magnanimous of you.

How much do I owe you?

[Car Door Opens]

- [Car Door Closes]

- You took money for a tasting?

Yeah.

- Is that some new policy we have?

- Nope.

[Man]

Hey, Bo.

Did you grow up in Napa?

No, I came here after high school.

- Is it your father's idea to give me a tour?

- Nope.

- What's your position at the vineyard?

- Ooh, cellar rat.

Oh. And you?

I am the intern to the cellar rat.

[Man]

#Freedom don't come easy, babe #

# When your spirit's

flying up among the clouds #

# And when you're faced with

the wise man's road #

- # You gotta know where to go #

- Where to first?

Karen Thompson's new winery.

She makes a dynamite sauvignon.

- A woman?

- [Chuckles]

Yeah, we embrace the enological talents

of womenfolk here in our valley.

Oh.

Good to know, Bo.

# Sun and the stars are

a travelin'man's companion #

# Leadin'the way

for his journey #

He wants to pay for the tasting?

My dad says take his money.

# Mm-hmm #

# Leadin'the way

The first to come #

# Showin'the way

for his children #

Mr. Robbins.

Hey, can we get a barrel sample...

for this, uh, French wine snob?

He doesn't think

we make real wine here.

- Sure thing. Wanna grab it yourself, Bo?

- Yeah.

# Mm-hmm #

You can leave your money

on the way out.

So you're having a contest.

I suppose you could call it that.

You're going to be

a very popular man, Mr. Spurrier.

# Mm-hmm #

# Yeah #

- Thank you, Mr. Barrett.

- Sure thing, Brit.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- There he is.

- He's here.

- [All Chattering]

- Mr. Spurrier. Mr. Spurrier.

Hello, everybody.

Thanks so much for coming.

I'll need some bottled water,

flat, preferably Vittel.

Wow, that was interesting in

a hail-to-the-queen sort of way.

Uh, some water biscuits

or a French roll.

And then I'll meet you all
