What we’re about
Are you a (mostly indie) film enthusiast with an interest/passion in (mostly natural) wine? Then this meetup is perfect for you! Join us for a fun, interactive, and unpretentious experience where we watch thought-provoking films (separately), read the screenplays, and meet monthly to taste wines and engage in stimulating discussions about both.
Whether you're a nascent enthusiast or deeply engaged, this group offers a unique opportunity to socialize with like-minded individuals in Western Mass. As long as you come having done your homework your level of 'experience' is unimportant.
Please note this is not a class or lecture, though a discussion group
Come join us and broaden your horizons through the wonderful worlds of humans, film and wine!

Malick Series: Second of Four: Days of Heaven; Tip Top Tasting
Tip Top Wine Shop, 150 Pleasant Streeto, #155, Easthampton, MA, USPhotographed by one of my most revered cinematographers Nestor Almendros, winning him an Oscar (first from a Spaniard), Days of Heaven shines as a compositional masterpiece. Shot almost exclusively during the 'magic hour' with a riveting backstory, Malick weaves visual storytelling to set an exquisite mood and tone that is undeniably his own. Keeping with momentum from Badlands, a la elliptical voice over narration from a female character (fascinating how this came to be post production) compels the composition forward.
I am excited for Tip Top Wine Shop to be hosting us again. We will lean into the Wine more as Lauren from Tip Top and I curate a tasting to accompany our discussion. We taste together, snack, and discuss. As we solidify the flight, I will post some of their stories.
Days of Heaven will be projected while we discuss.
Please come to this discussion group having already watched this film, I may offer some discussion prompts before the event.
Please note Fee $30/person to pay Tip Top for the wine and space as well as cover some cheese and snacks I will bring~ Fee is required to secure your RSVP7 attendees
