I have come up with a list of 50 films which desperately need wine
pairing suggestions. I tried to make the list somewhat international, and threw in some obvious choices along with some more obscure selections (and some which stump me completely). To get the ball rolling, I have also made a a few pairing picks. Go go go! e. _____________ www.winemonger.com 1. Citizen Kane (US) 2. The Rules of the Game (FRANCE) 3. 8 ½ (ITALY) 4.
