### 🎬 The Feature Film: Dirty Dancing

To accompany our tasting, we will be screening the 1987 classic, Dirty Dancing.

Set in the summer of 1963 at the prestigious Kellerman’s Resort, the film is a beautifully choreographed coming-of-age story. It follows Frances "Baby" Houseman as she navigates the transition from the innocent, structured world of her upbringing to the passionate, rhythmic underworld of the resort’s dance staff.

It is a story of defiance, grace, and the courage to break tradition—themes that resonate deeply with our wine selection. Just as the film moves from the polite upper-class ballrooms to the soulful heat of the staff quarters, our palate will journey from the precise, cool-climate elegance of the German Réserve whites to the uninhibited, sun-drenched character of the Italian Montepulciano.
