Tremors & Riverland Pétillant Naturel
Both Tremors and Pet-Nats are all about unexpected surprises. Each bottle is as unpredictable as a graboid's nature and hunting methods.

No Country for Old Men & Sonoma Pinot Noir
There may not be a satisfying conclusion to "No Country for Old Men," but at least you'll get one from this wine's long finish.

Catch Me If You Can & Burgundy Chablis
A Chablis is a Chardonnay done well, so it calls for a story that warns against taking shortcuts, such as "Catch Me If You Can."

You've Got Mail & Russian River Pinot Gris
"You've Got Mail" is 25 years old now and I don't know how I feel about that. That's a lie, I do know. I don't like it.

Dune & Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Since there's no way I'll ever get to watch Jodorowky's "Dune," I guess I'll have to settle for Denis Villeneuve's masterpiece.

Black Swan & Mendoza Malbec
Losing my mind is my greatest fear, and Black Swan is one of my favorite movies. I try not to think about what that says about my mind.

Guardians of the Galaxy & Sonoma Zinfandel
The Guardians have crossed over into so many other Marvel movies, it's easy to forget it's been six whole years since their last standalone.

Treasure Planet & South African Chenin Blanc
"Treasure Planet" is the most underappreciated Disney cartoon ever. There, I said it. No, I'm not taking that back, I stand by it.

Little Miss Sunshine & Spanish Albariño
There aren't many tragicomedies like "Little Miss Sunshine" and I don't get why. Doesn't everyone laugh when their life is a dumpster fire?

California Chardonnay & Freaky Friday
If you must drink a buttery, oaky monstrosity, watch Freaky Friday. The movie is about and the wine tastes like turning into your mother.

Pan's Labyrinth & Spanish Tempranillo
Everything Everywhere All at Once wasn't the first to use supernatural elements as a metaphor. Pan's Labyrinth did it too.

Rogue One & Bordeaux Margaux
I know it's heresy to like any Star Wars movie better than the original trilogy... but I did. I'm as surprised as anyone.

Galaxy Quest & Loire Chenin Blanc
We may never get a "Galaxy Quest 2," but it certainly wouldn't have been the same without Alan Rickman. Rest in peace, buddy. For the one...

Gone Girl & Napa Merlot
Nick and Amy Dunne may not have a happy marriage, but "Gone Girl" and a Napa Merlot make a great couple.

Sonic the Hedgehog & Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
You're never getting a wine pairing out of me, plumber! Sega forever! Everyone else may have moved on, but this Genesis kid NEVER will.

A lot of people have columbused orange wine lately. Orange wine is not new, guys, it has been around forever, but I'm not above chasing a...

Hannibal & A Nice Chianti
In all likelihood, you'll get hungry after each episode. Don't feel bad, that's what the evil geniuses in the writers room were going for.

House of Gucci & Piedmont Barolo
House of Gucci oozes luxury and scandal, so it's only fitting to indulge in a wine that's just as opulent and captivating.
