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!

Hungover

Your mouth is as dry as a box of Triscuits, you have some obsure stamp on the back of your hand (and cheek), and there's a film over your eyes like you have early onset glaucoma. You're hungover. Celebrate the moment--Todd Phillips did.

The Flick

The Hangover. Two days before his wedding, Doug Billings travels to his bachelor party in Las Vegas with his best friends, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis). Alan proposes a toast to Doug and they drink his booze-- that's the last thing they remember.

All you need to know if you've been under a rock and haven't seen this one is there's a baby in the wardrobe; a tiger in the bathroom; a chicken in the room; Stu has a missing tooth; and Doug is missing.

The Wine

You might still be drunk, but you know what they say about the hair of that dog... Try a quicker picker upper like a mimosa made with Shramsberg Blanc de Blanc Sparkling White.

Burrrrp. Mmm. Beer.

There's actually a beer called the Delirium Tremens out of Belgium. When in Bruges...

    Lovely concept. You've got me thinking about The Thing and a nice California Cabernet.
