“JUDGEMENT OF PARIS” TO HIT CINEMAS

Screenwriter and vintner Robert Mark Kamen is currently writing the screenplay for the upcoming Judgment of Paris movie, based on the famous Paris wine tasting of 1976 that brought the California wine industry to a new level of acclaim. The movie will be an adaptation of George Taber's book, and production is expected to begin this fall.

"Before the Paris tasting, any discussion of fine wine began and ended with France," said Kamen. "After the tasting, the world woke up to the fact that fine wine could be grown in places other than the historic vineyards of Bordeaux and Burgundy. The world of wine was never the same again, and better for it."

Kamen has also written screenplays for The Karate Kid, A Walk in the Clouds, and The Fifth Element.
