Bottle Shock

Based on a true story of love, victory, and fermentation
Paris-based wine expert Steven Spurrier heads to California in search of cheap wine that he can use for a blind taste test in the French capital.

Determined to make a name for himself, he sets about getting the booze back to Paris.
