👋 Hello everyone,
Join us at the stroke of midnight (or perhaps slightly earlier) for a journey through the eras. We’ll be pairing the cinematic magic of the 1920s with a curated selection of wines that bridge the gap between the Old World and the New.
The movie: Midnight in Paris
After a "welcome glass" of wine we are going to try the following tasty wines:
🍷 Rose Wines

2. France: Hecht & Bannier Côtes de Provence Rosé 2025🍷 Red Wine 🇮🇹
3. Spain: Marqués de Sorní Gran Reserva 2019
4. Spain: Casa del Rey Gran Reserva 2016
5. Australia: Cabernet Shiraz 2024
6. Italy: Barbanera Vecciano Collezione Privata 2023### 🎬 Featured Film: Midnight in Paris
Step into the rainy streets of the City of Light with this enchanting, Academy Award-winning tale of nostalgia and discovery.
The story follows Gil Pender, a disillusioned Hollywood screenwriter who wanders the cobblestone alleys of Paris, searching for the inspiration to finish his first novel. When the clock strikes twelve, a mysterious vintage car appears, whisking Gil away on a journey through time to the 1920s "Golden Age." As he rubs elbows with legendary icons like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Salvador Dalí, Gil begins to realize that while the past is intoxicating, the real magic happens when we embrace the present. It’s a love letter to art, history, and the idea that some things—like a good story or a fine vintage—only get better with time.
