"I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing; how the sun was shining; if it rained. I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it's an old wine, how many of them must be dead by now. I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today it would taste different than if I'd opened it on any other day, because a bottle of wine is actually alive. And it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is, until it peaks, like your '61. And then it begins its steady, inevitable decline. "
I just love this movie, I love the main character, his flawed genius, his love affair with wine, his idiosyncrasies. Am determined to follow the Californian wine trail in the movie, just need to decide who I would want to share it with me..........maybe I already have!
