  • White Noise, Bullet Train, Fiji Water, The Whale
    Jan 30 2023

    The Cogill’s appear perplexed by writer, and director Noah Baumbach’s expensive, absurdist comedy set in the 1980s. Sometimes it works, but more often, it doesn’t.

    As escapist fare, Hayley and Gary finally get around to watching Brad Pitt in, “Bullet Train” and enjoyed both the ability to laugh and be entertained by an off-the-rails Japanese mafia movie traveling at high speed.

    Sommelier, Hayley Hamilton Cogill, forgoes her wine expertise and pairs “White Noise" with the satirical bombardment of well-known brands and products continually flashing across the screen.

    For “Bullet Train,” she indulges in a well-known bottle of “Fiji Water” because it not only tastes good but becomes an intentional, well-defined character in Pitt’s action movie.

    And finally, film critic, Gary Cogill, embraces the melancholy sadness of “The Whale,” and welcomes the return of Brendan Fraser to the big screen with an Oscar-worthy performance.

  • The Banshees Of Inisherin, Guinness Stout, The Menu, Domain Breton”
    Jan 27 2023

    The Cogill’s are slightly split on, “The Banshees Of Inisherin” considering the dark path the movie decides to take, including the removal of fingers over a silly rule. Like it or not, it’s a movie filled with Oscar nominations.

    “The Menu" only pretends to be a film about food, when it's actually a dark sided horror film about a famous Chef who takes revenge on his tasteless patrons. Film critic, Gary Cogill, praises the performances but loathes the ending.

    Sommelier, Hayley Hamilton Cogill,” reminds us of her girls trip across Ireland which included the perfect, “Banshees,” pairing. A locally poured, Guinness Stout.

    For “The Menu,” our favorite Somm looked closely at the wine served in the film and spotted a beautiful bottle of Domaine Breton Cabernet Franc, from the stunning Loire Valley in France

  • Glass Onion, Domaine Sigalas, White Lotus: Season 2, Tenuta Capofaro Malvasia
    Jan 23 2023

    The Cogill’s love a good destination murder mystery and “Glass Onion, A Knives Out Mystery” is perfect example of style, substance, and cinematic flair

    They also can’t get enough of Jennifer Coolidge in, “White Lotus: Season 2,” who recites one of the greatest lines in recent  memory.

    Sommelier, Hayley Hamilton Cogill, recalls her trip to Santorini, Greece and can easily envision Kate Hudson sitting poolside drinking a refreshing Sigalas Assyrtiko.

    For the “White Lotus” pairing it’s a beautiful Malvasia from Salina in the northwestern part of Sicily.
