I’ve always liked movies. When I was small, there was nothing better than a trip to the cinema. The big screen, the sound, the sweets, the popcorn. All good. I still love going. Over the last few years due to the presence of my little darlings, the opportunities to go to the cinema are few and far between. Instead I tend to watch DVD’s on the home system. This has naturally led on to wine related DVD’s (much to the dismay of my children – “Dad, thats soooo boring”). I thought I’d share some titles with you
So, in no particular order, here are some worth checking out
- Jancis Robinsons Wine Course
- Wines of Northern Italy
- Wines of Central & Southern Italy
- Journey Into Wine : Australia
- Journey Into Wine : Spain & Portugal
- Journey Into Wine : South Africa
- Journey Into Wine : Budapest To The Black Sea
- Wine For Dummies
- Mondovino
- Mondovino – The Series (yep – all 10 hours of it !)
- Pairing Food & Wine
- Oz & James Big Wine Adventure : France
- Oz & James Big Wine Adventure : California
- Floyd Uncorked
- Merlove
- The Wine Route (a fine series often shown on TV)
All of the above are packed full of interesting wine facts and information.
If you fancy a bit of wine related fiction, you could do worse than checking out the following . . . . . . .
- Sideways
- A Good Year
- Bottle Shock
And dont forget the popcorn !
