Wine Importer Announces Wine Film of the Year
For Immediate Release
Joe Dressner, a part owner of Louis/Dressner Selections in New York City, announced his Wine Film of the Year today.
Eric Rohmer's My Night at Maud's was the unanimous winner.
Mr. Dressner noted: "My Night at Maud's is a brilliantly insightful and sublime meditation on adult indiscretions and the wine scene in Clermont-Ferrand. Jean-Louis Trintignant plays a chaste engineer who thinks he's met his soul mate in church, yet winds up accidentally spending the night with the seductive Maud, who is more his intellectual equal. Together with Maud and his friends, Trintignant questions the unexpected and unknowable problems of the heart, while drinking and enjoying large quantities of the fabled wine from Chanturgue"
Dressner noted the key role the film has played in popularizing the wine Chanturgue in America. This delicious gamay-based wine from the Auvergne is now being bought, sold and drunk all over America, following its popularization in Rohmer's film. "No fashionable evening is complete without bringing out a bottle of Chanturgue and sharing it with loved ones and friends," Dressner added.
My Night at Maud's narrowly beat out Sideways and Mondovino, the other major contenders.
