The UK’s Telegraph is reporting that Hugh Ryman, the maverick English winemaker portrayed by Russell Crowe in A Good Year, has brought another innovation to the wine market – a French wine tailored to the tastes of India’s newly prosperous urban classes. Maison Pierre is a joint venture with Sula Vineyards. The article quotes Rajeev Samant as saying, “We’ve created a brand for the Indian market, which we jointly own. It should ship from France next week. The movie itself is worth seeing even though it has gotten mixed reviews. |
Directed by Ridley Scott, it is a 2006 romantic comedy film set in Provence, in southeastern France and is about an investment expert who takes over a vineyard and gets seduced by the wine lifestyle.
