Our Never Seen Series continues with Duck Soup!  This is a milestone comedy from the Marx Brothers.  Travis has never seen it, and you’ll really want to hear his opinions!  To pair, we enjoy some Rosé of Pinot Noir from King Estate Winery.  Unintentionally, it goes well with duck.

Our Never Seen Series continues with an all-time classic–Chinatown!  Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway headline this Oscar-winning masterpiece.  To pair, we drink a Cabernet from Dry Creek.  This neo-noir mystery takes place during a drought, so I decided to pick the driest wine possible to go with it.

Our Never Seen Series kicks off with Unforgiven!  Clint Eastwood’s magnum opus won four Oscars, including Best Picture, and it appears on A.F.I.’s Top 100 films of all time.  Sean and Trav have never seen it, and they have interesting opinions!  To pair, we enjoy some Bonecrusher Red Zinfandel from Hahn Winery.  I’ve been revisiting the wines made me love wines.  Red Zins definitely fit that bill.  We also sampled another the Fablelist Zin, which was even better!

Our Oscar series continues with Women Talking!  Sean, Travis, and I discuss this Best Picture nominee, and we have diverging opinions.  We had a pretty strong wine buzz by this point in the evening, so we took this episode off for vino.

Our Oscar Series continues with Tár!  This is also the next part of our Best Picture Gauntlet, wherein we take a look at each nominee in a bite-sized episode.  Tár is a dense, intelligent take on a powerful sexual predator.  Sean Jordan and I have a strong discussion.

To pair, we drink a delicious German Riesling.  (Tár mostly takes place in Berlin.)  The nose of this wine wasn’t great–there were definite notes of petroleum–but the actual flavors more than made up for it!

Our Best Picture series continues with Triangle of Sadness!  This episode begins an onslaught of Academy Award nominees, which will continue through the actual broadcast on March 12th.  Some mild spoilers lie ahead, so go stream the film on Hulu and head back this way!

To pair, we enjoy the Amrita, a sparkling white wine from Anne Amie.  It goes great with seafood, which will make much more sense if you’ve seen the film!

Our Oscar Series continues with Part III, Elvis.  Baz Luhrmann’s musical biopic drew polarizing responses from both movie fans and Elvis fans.  On one hand, Austin Butler’s performance is great, and very Oscar worthy.  At the same time, Luhrmann’s verry stylized approach somehow seems shallow and a bit too much, all at once.  We have a heated discussion.

To pair, we drink some delicious Washington Merlot.  For this series, I’m offering some of the wines that made me love wine, all those years ago.

Part Two of our Oscar series finds us discussing All Quiet on the Western Front, the epic war film now on Netflix.  It snagged a Best Picture nomination, as we have strong opinions.  For this series, we’re pairing these movies with the wines that made us love wines.  When I started at the wine store, I developed a strong taste for Australian reds, so we enjoy a burly Shiraz/Cab for this episode.
