Ask Me Anything About Bottle Shock

We gave you the opportunity to ask Bo Barrett anything about Bottle Shock and the Judgment of Paris.
Turns out, you might be surprised by a few of his answers!

[@davidanctil4671]

Bo, I m a wine specialist for the State of Pa, I had your Chardonnay and Its still the number one, its hands down the best I ever had.. I have included your Reistling, Cab and Zinfandel in my weekly tastings, they continue to blow my clients away. i always tell my clients that Chateau Montelena cant do anything wrong.. Your the best .. thank you..Dave

I LOVE THIS STORY

[@AScreenwritersJourney]

I tried your chardonnay for the first time a few weeks ago while re-watching BOTTLE SHOCK. Both were fantastic!

[@jesseusgrantcanales]

I got a bottle of your famous Chard a long while back! Saving it for a special occasion to enjoy it so it is in a fridge until further notice. :) Not the '73 of course [wish I had...] but a '20.

[@davebasch5995]

Went there in June 2021.. Their zin is a perfect pizza wine according to the tasting host.. That night we had pizza, Zin and watched Bottle Shock

[@Draugh39]

It's great to see these comments of yours. I loved the movie (and wine in general) one of these days I'll come by and sample the California wines, hopefully from the cellar door. All the best!

[@1retdGI]

Great Job. I did watch the story (film). As well as I could watch it, It was great despite the limitations. I'm not a wine(r) or even a novice. I got here by watching "Modern Marvels -Wine" episode and they mentioned the competition. I then found the movie on KZbin and that bring me here. Great Job to all of the above. Makes me want some wine.

[@dogguy8603]

I did enjoy the Gallo jokes lol

[@A2X1]

Amazing ! And interesting as well ...

[@ElJorro]

This is great!

[@GetOutsideYourself]

Haha! All right Palos Verdes! I'm from there too!

[@sasakravic4412]

Thank You

[@memorast]

I love that movie and everything about it especially the wine,. My brother and I went to the Smithsonian and saw the two bottles the one Chardonnay and whatever the other one was but it was amazing! And for my Christmas present five years ago I asked for a bottle of wine from Your château! It was great it cost her I think $50 but it was worth every penny

[@norachamberlain5187]

Thank you. Love movie

[@rtt3114]

love the movie and your wine

[@Standproud1000]

Hey Bo. Maybe you should do a historical movie of the real story

[@dianairigaray4499]

Great wine and movie

[@radiestesista]

I LOVED IT!!! I was living in Brasil when I watched the movie! I moved to California and guess what: THE FIRST PLACE THAT I WANTED TO VISIT WAS: CHATEAU MONTELENA!!!! Yes! And I was amazed! Congratulations guys! Hope you have more success more than ever!!! ❤️

[@therenaissancewoman2080]

That was awesome! I loved the movie. It made me curious to see how accurate the movie was so I had to do some research. I was so fascinated by the process and how California wines became so popular. I love California wines. I've not had one from Chateau Montelena Winery yet, but one day I hope to. I live in Canada so they're not readily available here.

[@itsmederek1]

They are readily available in Canada lol.

[@katherinefairchild]

One more question ow many times did you turn your barrels or do you still? Is that what they were talking about?

[@martinv.352]

I am a big fan of the movie, although I am not a wine connoisseur. Bo, you answered exactly the questions I asked me after viewing the movie the third time. The movie and your biography is exactly the story of the "american dream", in a very sympathic way. It shows us that on the road to success, a bit of luck is also needed. Greetings from Bavaria

[@annn.3615]

Someday, will you help put the movie Bottle Shock into the Spanish language ? Then my friends who speak Spanish can watch it. I can’t find it available in Spanish. Thanks ! Happy Wine Making !!

[@DaskapitalYQS]

Really hope they are still making the brown chardonnary

[@saint6563]

Think the "true" story is better; tho still enjoyed the movie. Recommend "Judgement in Paris" doc. Congrats & cheers!!

[@milasuacorretoradeimoveis7049]

Parabéns 💯🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏

[@chrisginoc]

What?

[@johntubbs9197]

Do you still know any of the founding Tubbs family?

[@sasakravic4412]

Clip was some yeas ago....keep California..Napa..same way!!

[@33themajor]

I knew the character of Sam was created just for the film. You could tell. In fact, watching the film, it was almost as if Bill and Chris didn’t know she was going to be in the film either. Their reaction to her showing up, like who is this girl? Looked genuine.

[@MrTelfs]

wow didn't know Steve Brule grew up tp be a famous winemaker

[@RebelStateSovereign]

:-)

[@will5286]

LOVE IT that your enunciation is so poor--PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE-the drawl doesn't help much either

[@metahduh4003]

It was a total scam.

[@AmandaWilson-qz5kl]

How so?
