The story of the early days of California wine making featuring the now infamous, blind Paris wine tasting of 1976 that has come to be known as "Judgment of Paris".

Rachael plays beautiful intern Sam who spurns Bo’s advances in favor of his best friend, budding vintner Gustavo played by the award-winning Freddy Rodriguez.

Rachael actually experienced her first earthquake while promoting the movie.
"It was my first one. And I've got to say, I got a bit actressy around it. And I was really terrified, and I clutched Freddy's arm. Because I've never been in an earthquake before, so I didn't know at what point it was going to stop, or if it gets worse, or what the deal was. But it was fine. I survived."
"[Freddy] was like, 'Let's just move...' Really quietly he was like, 'Let's just move out from under the chandelier.'"

Rachael also learned a little something about wine during the shoot:
"I sort of actually was a wine enthusiast before this movie, but by no means knowledgeable about it. And I feel like my palate has become slightly more discerning since shooting this movie. But you do have that first special glass, and you go, "Ah, I understand now!"

"I do remember having a dance-off with Freddy Rodriguez, Chris, the head make-up artist and Bill. I don’t normally get bombed on really good wine but, throughout the shoot, the vintner of Chateau Montelena kept giving us cases of chardonnay and zinfandel, and plates of cheese, so any degree of detoxing or wanting to take care of myself because I was shooting a movie soon flew out the window."
