What do you get when you have a heaping helping of movie trivia, twisted humor, and a glass of wine (or beer for fans of the fizzy lifting drink)? You get the Movie Wino. That's me.

Welcome to all things cinema and grape.If you're like me, your movie selections vary with your mood. When I'm anxious, I default to either of the Ghostbusters movies; Real Genius; Fight Club or The Departed. Then comes the beverage. Call it state dependent learning that most movies are at least slightly more enjoyable when coupled with a glass of wine--and even better if you have a friend who's a fellow movie wino.

My commitment to you is to provide at least one movie and wine pairing for any mood or occasion. If you have suggestions or need one, bring it on. You can search for movie and wine pairings by mood or visit the archives by week and see what mood I was in...

Movie summaries are courtesy of Internet Movie Database (IMDB). Comments and fermented grape juice or hopped up amber beverage recommendations courtesy of my sick, twisted mind. Whether you're a Wine Enthusiast or have Rotten Tomatoes bookmarked, there's bound to be something for you here.

Drink up!

Feeling Frisky as a Feline?

If you and your love muffin are looking for some ideas on how to spice things up a bit, you can take some cues from a bored housewife and an exotic bookseller in the drama / romance / thriller, Unfaithful.

The Flick

Connie Sumner has a loving husband, a beautiful home, and a wonderful son, but she wants more. When she's approached one day by a handsome stranger while trying to hail a taxi, she becomes obsessed with him and eventually starts an affair. But her selfish actions soon catch up with her.

Good lord. All I have to say is, it was the only movie that played on TV when I was in Italy. Smoldering in ANY language. Adultery shmadultery.

The Wine

You name it. Jesus. Anything to put out the flames. For this one, try a sensual red Pinot Noir with flavors like dark berries, violets, warm spices and orange peel like Louis Jadot or Cavit.

What's on Tap?

What else...a Loose Canon.
