Wine Night In: Chateau Montelena + ‘Bottle Shock’

Tonight’s Wine Night In is brought to you by a Napa legend and the movie that made it famous: Chateau Montelena Chardonnay + ‘Bottle Shock’ on Prime Video.

Chateau Montelena Chardonnay

Let’s chat about the famous Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Chardonnay. I’m going to make a bold statement here which is mostly based in taste but partially emotional too: this is my favorite white wine. Ever. It’s a tad expensive (nearly $50 from a wine shop.) This wine also stars in a movie, Bottleshock, which is a really fun wine movie with a great story.

Bottleshock the movie

The movie is about the famous Judgement of Paris in 1976, a contest in which California wines competed against established icons of the wine world. Spoiler alert: USA wins. Specifically, Chateau Montelena Chardonnay wins, which is why you should drink it while watching the movie.

Cheers, ya’ll!
