    White Noise, Bullet Train, Fiji Water, The Whale

    The Cogill’s appear perplexed by writer, and director Noah Baumbach’s expensive, absurdist comedy set in the 1980s. Sometimes it works, but more often, it doesn’t. As escapist fare, Hayley and Gary finally get around to watching Brad Pitt in, “Bullet Train” and enjoyed both the ability to laugh and be entertained by an off-the-rails Japanese mafia movie traveling at high speed. Sommelier, Hayley Hamilton Cogill, forgoes her wine expertise and pairs “White Noise" with the satirical bombardment of well-known brands and products continually flashing across the screen. For “Bullet Train,” she indulges in a well-known bottle of “Fiji Water” because it not only tastes good but becomes an intentional, well-defined character in Pitt’s action movie. And finally, film critic, Gary Cogill, embraces the melancholy sadness of “The Whale,” and welcomes the return of Brendan Fraser to the big screen with an Oscar-worthy performance.

    The Banshees Of Inisherin, Guinness Stout, The Menu, Domain Breton”

    The Cogill’s are slightly split on, “The Banshees Of Inisherin” considering the dark path the movie decides to take, including the removal of fingers over a silly rule. Like it or not, it’s a movie filled with Oscar nominations. “The Menu" only pretends to be a film about food, when it's actually a dark sided horror film about a famous Chef who takes revenge on his tasteless patrons. Film critic, Gary Cogill, praises the performances but loathes the ending. Sommelier, Hayley Hamilton Cogill,” reminds us of her girls trip across Ireland which included the perfect, “Banshees,” pairing. A locally poured, Guinness Stout. For “The Menu,” our favorite Somm looked closely at the wine served in the film and spotted a beautiful bottle of Domaine Breton Cabernet Franc, from the stunning Loire Valley in France

    Glass Onion, Domaine Sigalas, White Lotus: Season 2, Tenuta Capofaro Malvasia

    The Cogill’s love a good destination murder mystery and “Glass Onion, A Knives Out Mystery” is perfect example of style, substance, and cinematic flair They also can’t get enough of Jennifer Coolidge in, “White Lotus: Season 2,” who recites one of the greatest lines in recent memory. Sommelier, Hayley Hamilton Cogill, recalls her trip to Santorini, Greece and can easily envision Kate Hudson sitting poolside drinking a refreshing Sigalas Assyrtiko. For the “White Lotus” pairing it’s a beautiful Malvasia from Salina in the northwestern part of Sicily.

    The Menu, The Absurd Proprietary Blend, Tar, Mosel Riesling

    The Cogill’s believe “The Menu” is a well-made, well-acted, yet slightly disappointing thriller about a maniacal chef who knows all too much about his patrons. “Tar” could win Cate Blanchette her third Oscar in a great performance about a troubled Symphony conductor about to go through some things. Sommelier Hayley Hamilton Cogill expertly tackles “The Menu” with an expensive, highly renowned, bold Napa Valley red wine from Realm Winery called “The Absurd.” Hayley goes to Germany for the complicated, calculated “Tar” and pairs with an austere, lean, focused, slightly bitter Riesling from Mosel.

    Avatar: The Way Of Water, Badoit, Babylon, Prisoner Wine

    “Avatar: The Way Of Water” is technically one of the best movies ever made, says film critic, Gary Cogill. A three hour marvel of cinematic magic. “Babylon” is an Oscar level film of excess and decadence, says The Cogill’s, who appreciated its dazzling "all in” style of film making. Sommelier, Hayley Hamilton Cogill, pairs the new brilliant “Avatar" film with a sparkling, refreshing, bottled water from France called, “Badoit.” Hayley also offers insight into the old Hollywood world of “Babylon” by pouring a unique selection from the Prisoner Wine Company called “Eternally Silenced.”

    The Fabelman's, Women Talking, Rias Baixas, and Beringer Knights Valley

    The Cogill's are highly enthusiastic about Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical, Oscar-contending film, “The Fabelmans,” which emulates the legendary director as a young boy growing up wide-eyed about the movie-making experience. “Women Talking” is a difficult true story told with honesty and eloquence about a religious community of women terrorized and abused by the men in their lives. Writer/ Director Sarah Polley has created a top-ten film that is well-written and acted while packing an unflinching punch. Sommelier, Hayley Hamilton Cogill, raises a memorable glass of wine to, “The Fabelmans, with a captivating, historical wine from Beringer Vineyards, Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. And, with “Women Talking,” Hayley toasts the female winemakers of Rias Baixas, Spain a region run by the strength of women, where over 50% of the winemakers are female.

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, McBride Sisters Reserve Pinot Noir, She Said, Kate Hudson King Street Vodka

    The Cogill’s celebrate "Blank Panther: Wakanda Forever” for it’s thoughtful, respectful tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman. Film Critic, Gary Cogill, calls out the Oscar level performances of Carey Mulligan and Zoe Katan as Pulitzer Prize winning journalists on the predatory trail of movie mogul, Harvey Weinstein, in “She Said.” Sommelier Hayley Hamilton Cogill pairs "Wakanda Forever” with a Mcbride Sisters Collection Reserve Pinot Noir aptly labeled, “Cocky Mother*cker.” And in the spirit of, “She Said,” Hayley raises a glass of "King Street Vodka” created by actress Kate Hudson, who has been an outspoken voice for women’s rights.

    Boiling Point, Chefs Table: Pizza, Adelsheim Breaking Ground

    The Cogill’s are technically fascinated by the one take movie from England called, “Boiling Point.” A serious drama about a chef, his restaurant, his messy lifestyle, and the one night where he almost lost everything. Hayley & Gary can’t say enough about the latest season of “Chefs Table” on Netflix and its six part examination of pizza from around the world. You have never seen pizza, like you see in this series. Sommelier Hayley Hamilton Cogill calls the shots and says pairing any alcohol with “Boiling Point” would be inappropriate. For "Chefs Table: Pizza" she turns to legendary Oregon wine maker, David Adelsheim and his beautiful "Breaking Ground" Pinot Noir.
