This, from the opening scene of Charade, which was made in 1963 and still so good. Audrey’s having some déjeuner at Mont d’ Arbois in Megève, Switzerland. Local red wine there is made mostly from either Mondeuse or Gamay grapes, both make light red wine perfect for Alpine ski breaks. (Check out that vintage bottle of Evian too.)
Chic ski. Chic wine. Chic everything.
Great picture. Audrey and wine – what a lovely combo! I think she’s quite like Gamay herself, but even more like Pinot Noir. I made a slightly silly Vinalogy film about why she sums up that grape so well. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gJee_fR5-A
Très chic!
oui, très!
Very glamorous, makes me wish I could ski!
Well now you can just ski-lunch it with some local red wine! Just as good…
Sounds like a plan!
Fun post, fun movie 🙂
she’s the BEST
I love Charade and still believe that Audrey’s beauty still has no rivals.
agree!
Grace Kelly should be in there too! Classic timeless beauty.
Hmm, could be a good future one… But Audrey was always my fave!
Oh me too I love the scene in Rear Window where Grace is gently swirling the snifter of cognac or brandy/!
thanks for visiting my blog. Loved this piece. you know what they say – talk to me about Gamay grapes and I may forget, show me Audrey Hepburn and I’ll always remember (well, they dont really say it. I do)
haha – good saying!
My very favorite movie! Audrey and Cary, what more could you want?
best movie couple ever
