The Regional Chapter Experience
Wine Brats’ October Educational Series has partnered with Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines and Turner Classic Movies to present Movies by the Glass … the Road Show. These combined wine tastings and classic screening events will star Sterling Vineyards, F.E.Trimbach, Beaulieu Vineyard and Barton & Guestier, plus the Oscar-winning film classic Casablanca. Guests will experience wine and food with this classic movie in eight select cities as the series shares tips on in-home entertaining with Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines for the upcoming holidays!
At each screening event, guests will be greeted with a souvenir wine glass, personality wheel, plus a classic movie star’s nametag to place on their back as a fun meet-and-greet icebreaker. As they sample the wines of Sterling Vineyards, F.E.Trimbach, Beaulieu Vineyard and Barton & Guestier, guests will try to figure out whose movie star name is on their back by the way other guests relate to them. Following the reception, the dinner buffet will open just prior to TCM screening a classic cartoon and the feature presentation Casablanca. Filmed in 1942, Casablanca tells the story of a love triangle set in French-occupied Morocco during World War II, amidst Allied resistance and Nazi intrigue. Stars Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman are backed by an impressive supporting cast and deliver two of the most famous and oft-quoted performances in film history. Wine and food also play a major supporting role in the film.
After the movie, guests will receive a classic popcorn bag filled with a “How-To” kit for Movies by the Glass, the Home Show dinner party and takeaway. The kit it includes: a “play bill” for a selection of Turner classic movie to be aired on TCM in December; themed recipes to match the December romantic comedies; directions on how to win a special Turner Classic Movie sweepstakes during a selected December movies (details soon to come!); suggested wine list; TCM “now playing” movie guide; logo cork puller; wine charms; chit-chat magnets; and a bag of popcorn.
