Moonstruck (1987) & Domaine des Florets Synchronicite Gigondas 2020

Just like the irresistible romance between Loretta and Ronny in Moonstruck, this red wine will keep you coming back for more. This Gigondas is named for the conjunction of different perfectly synchronized events, or coincidences. Synchronicity is also the symbol of the perfect meeting of plants, minerals and humans, reflected in this charming wine with notes of ripe strawberry, cherry, and hints of dark chocolate and toasted baking spice.

The Princess Bride (1987) & Stolpman Vineyards Love You Bunches Red 2022

Nothing says true love quite like this Sangiovese from Stolpman Vineyards. The grapes for this wine are fermented whole and gently pressed, hence the name of the wine. Bright and zippy, this wine delivers stunning notes of crunchy red berries, ruby grapefruit, and tangerine flowers.

Beetlejuice & Thomain Enfer d’Arvier 2022

Beetlejuice (1988) & Thomain Enfer d’Arvier 2022

A wine whose name you won’t be able to stop repeating to all your friends – without a rowdy spirit entering the chat. A master of extremes, the vineyards of the Enfer d’Arvier appellation are situated in an amphitheater-shaped site on steep slopes in a high-altitude valley. The shape of this ‘bowl’ of vineyards concentrates major heat from the sun, giving birth to the moniker “hell of Arvier.” This mouthwatering red wine offers a beautiful balance of rapier acidity and luscious fruit. 

Get Out & Prisma Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Get Out (2017) & Prisma Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Don’t be fooled by the pretty label, this white wine showcases the true expression of the unique terroir in Casablanca Valley, Chile. This crisp and easy un-oaked Sauvignon Blanc has bright notes of fresh citrus and green apple, balanced with fine minerality.

Sleepy Hollow & Maison Noir Horseshoes & Handgrenades NV

Sleepy Hollow (1999) & Maison Noir Horseshoes & Handgrenades NV

No headless horseman needed! Horseshoes & Handgrenades is fruit-driven, full-bodied complex red blend sourced from Southern Oregon and Red Mountain Washington. The rich, ripe, voluptuous fruit comes from Oregon Syrah with just enough Washington Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to give it complexity and structure. Think cherry pits and leather whips!
