The Brutalist and Conclave

Timothon: A Complete Unknown and Dune Part II

Happy Spring everyone! We are back with our Oscar double feature series in a Timmy extravaganza! This week we tackle Dune Part II as well as the Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, all paired with an iconic American wine—Ridge ‘Three Valleys’ Zinfandel. Does Timmy boy wow us or bore us? Come sip with two complete unknowns to find out!

The Brutalist and Conclave

Happy Sunday! This week, we’re scouring our local neighborhood for Brutalist architecture. We didn’t make the trek to New Haven to see the famous Bruer building, but we did spend the afternoon watching Brady Corbet’s opus The Brutalist starring a magnetic Adrien Brody. We pair it with the papal drama Conclave, starring Ralph Fiennes. Two wines—one American, and one Hungarian, proved to be interesting partners to these heady films. Come settle in and sip with us!

I Saw the TV Glow vs. Emilia Perez

It’s Oscar night! Over here we are starting this glittering night with the first of our Oscar series— a side by side of the much talked about Oscar favorite, Emilia Perez and the indie coming-of-age, I Saw the TV Glow. Help us compare who did it better between these two movies tackling the queer experience. We sample a non-alcoholic proxy as we try to heal from the wintertime blues. Sip along with us!

A tribute to David Lynch: Blue Velvet

Happy Valentine’s Day, lovers! We hope you had a spicy time. This week we reflected on the huge Hollywood loss of David Lynch while watching his “rom com” masterpiece, Blue Velvet. We sip some pink bubbles as we fall down the rabbit hole where we find a demented Dennis Hopper huffing nitrous and a tormented cabaret singer in Isabella Rossellini. Learn about champagne and how Stephen King and David Lynch’s paths crossed in this weeks episode, and don’t forget to sip along with us!

Heretic

Did you survive January, sippers? We barely did! We are coming back to bring you a pairing for a cold, snowy day. This week we revisit our favorite villain, the charismatic Hugh Grant, in his A24 debut of ‘Heretic’. This horror-thriller tale about the dangers of knocking door-to-door left us questioning everything. Paired with a warm and spicy Provençal red makes for a perfect winter match. Sip and screen with us!
