Instead of a boxing ring, however, the story is set in the world of fine wine. In one corner, the legendary champions of France's Bordeaux and Burgundy regions; in the other, Napa Valley 'farmers' yet to make a name for themselves. Based on a true story, the underdog comes out on top with a California chardonnay and a Cabernet Sauvignon besting French wines in a Parisian blind judging in 1973.
