Fair warning: This episode goes heavy on the vino. We indulged in a few too many glasses before we sat down for this Oscar preview, and things get a little goofy. I’ll be honest, this one was a challenge to edit. Still, we do breakdown the Oscar favorites, as best we can.

Previous Episode

City of Angels (1998)

We conclude our Valentine’s Day/Date Movie series with City of Angels. It’s definitely the oddest and most cerebral of this month’s offerings. On the plus side, it does have a bitchin’ soundtrack, with lots of killer 90s vibes.

For vino, we tried the sparkling Vouvray, from Champalou. Vouvray is Chenin Blanc, and this one has all the hallmarks: It has a dry minerality, but with fun, festive notes of lemongrass and dried apples. This one retails for around $30, not exactly cheap, but way more affordable than any legit champagne.

Next Episode

The Batman (2022)

Tonight, Sean and I take a look at one of the biggest releases of the year: Matt Reeves’ reboot of The Batman. We have slightly different opinions of the finished product. This podcast is mostly spoiler-free, but the last few minutes *might* contain a few mild plot hints. Don’t worry–we’ll give you a heads up before we spoil anything.

Also, March kicks off our series of all-time biggest Oscar snubs. We’ll pair these movies with wines that, for whatever reason, get a bad rap. This starts with Merlot, which has garnered an unfair reputation as a soft red. That’s total BS, and we’ll tell you why in the podcast. For this episode, we enjoy the Merlot from L’Ecole Winery, out of Washington State. It’s a classic example of the grape: Full-bodied, oaky, dry, and built to last.

Now, enjoy another fine episode of Cinemavino!
