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!
