There have been millions of words written about which wines go with
which foods. To the best of my knowledge up until now no one has
written about which wines go with which movies. This occurred to me as
I was fetching a wine to drink as I screened "The Godfather" for about
the fifth or sixth time.

Many people might suggest a chianti or barolo but I think a strong red
zin such as a Martinelli or Hartford would be a better choice. The
taste seems to follow the sepia tones of the film, and more than one
Italian-American has told me that red zin reminds him of the wine his
father used to make at home. Besides, zin would go better with the
cannoli.

For "When Harry Met Sally" I'd suggest an over-oaked chardonnay.

"American Graffiti"-- a blanc de blancs Champagne.

"The Producers"-- an inexpensive ice wine (Selaks from New Zealand, for
example, where they pick the grapes then place them in a freezer).

"The Taking of Pelham One Two Three"-- cough medicine.

"Casablanca" anyone?
