Join us for an evening of storytelling and one of Lia’s must-see films this year: "One of my favourite titles this year is a German film called One for the Road, tackling alcoholism with some incredible performances through the clubs of Berlin. We always show wine films–from romantic romps through the vineyards of France, to exposés on wine scandals, to murder by a wine bottle, to the history of Port or Champagne–you name it. So, I like one that takes a major issue, breaks it apart and makes the topic approachable and real."~ Lia Rinaldo
