"Wine Is Sunlight Held Together By Water"
My second attempt to craft an image that does justice to the poetic definition of wine written by the great Italian philosopher and astronomer, Galileo Galilei :
“Wine is sunlight held together by water.”
This shot differs from the first one in that this time I’ve included the wine that pretty much revolutionized the global wine industry by proving the worth of wines made outside of France. That wine, Chateau Montelena’s Chardonnay, was the central character in the movie “Bottle Shock” and if you’ve not seen it you really should. It’s a light hearted, upbeat, feel good tale of overcoming obstacles against all odds.
The heart of the story centers on the 1976 wine competition known as “The Judgement of Paris.” And if you can stand a spoiler alert all of the details can be found at

Decanter.com reported that “One of the few remaining bottles of ex-cellar 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay has been sold by Spectrum Wine Auctions for $11,325.”
Needless to say I was not that buyer. : ))
