rescue comes the Phantom Tollbooth, a portal into an enchanted realm of boredom-bashing
exploration and ignorance-crushing discovery. This acclaimed musical adaptation of Norton
Justers beloved childrens book is a treat for the whole family, featuring
buoyant music by Arnold Black and witty lyrics by Broadway legend Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler
on the Roof, She Loves Me). Just like Milo, audiences are sure to learn that theres

Wine & a Movie at RoxyAnn Winery
"Bottle Shock"Treat yourself to something different
this Friday at RoxyAnn Winery. Enjoy a relaxing evening sipping fantastic wine and
watching a great movie.
This week's feature is "Bottle Shock" starring Alan Rickman, Bill Pullman,
Chris Pine & Rachel Taylor. Sommelier and wine shop owner Steven Spurrier
(Rickman), a British expatriate living in Paris, concocts a plan to hold a blind
taste-test intended to introduce Parisians to the quality wines coming from elsewhere in
the world (and save his business in the process). He travels to the not-yet-famous Napa
Valley in search of contestants for his Judgment of Paris taste test (1976), where a
chance meeting introduces him to f loundering
vintner Jim Barrett (Pullman) and his son, Bo (Pine) of Chateau Montelena. This twist of
fate and the resultant oenological epiphany forever change their lives, the fortunes of
the Napa Valley wineries, and the global wine industry as a whole.
Cost: $5.00 per person. Artisan foods and wines by the glass are available
and of course chocolate!

Wine & a Movie at RoxyAnn Winery
"A Good Year"Treat yourself to something different this
Friday at RoxyAnn Winery. Enjoy a relaxing evening sipping fantastic wine and
watching a great movie.
This week's feature is "A Good Year" starring Russell Crowe, Albert Finney,
Marion Cotillard and Tom Hollander. Gladiator duo Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe
re-team for this adaptation of author Peter Mayle's best-selling novel about a
London-based investment banker who relocates to Provence in hopes of selling a small
vineyard he has inherited from his recently deceased uncle. As achild, Max Skinner
(Freddie Highmore)was taught to appreciate the finer things in life while wandering the
vineyard estate of his sophisticated uncle Henry (Albert Finney). Life has a strange way
or turning out how you least expect it to though, and 25 years later, Max (Russell Crowe)
is now a pr osperous moneyman
wheeling and dealing in the cutthroat world of London business. When Max learns that Henry
has recently passed away and that he has been named the sole beneficiary of his late
uncle's modest estate, the keen businessman hastily arranges a flight to France in order
to assess the value of the old property and get it prepped for sale. After Max arrives to
find the vineyard in a crumbling state of disrepair, his troubles are further compounded
by the stubbornness of gruff estate winemaker M. Duflot (Didier Bourdon) and the
unexpected arrival of a determined California beauty named Christie (Abbie Cornish), who
presents herself as a long-lost cousin while making a dubious claim to Henry's estate.
Meanwhile, the overstressed Max reluctantly finds himself falling for local café owner
and town siren Fanny (Marion Cotillard), whose formidable guard is quickly worn down by
the smitten beneficiary. Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

America 1968
1968 was
unquestionably one of the most eventful and tumultuous years in Americas history. It
was a year of assassinations, escalating war, and counter-cultural ferment, of hippies and
yippies and black power, of demonstrations for peace and eruptions of violence. America
1968 brings this amazing year back to life in a fascinating, multi-media musical
documentary. Featuring a live band and a compact ensemble of dynamic singer-actors,
America 1968 mixes potent imagery with unforgettable words and immortal songs, including
Born To Be Wild, Hey Jude, and I Heard It Through the
Grapevine. A music-filled history lesson for those who werent there, and a
powerful return trip for those who were!
