The Cogill’s enjoyed the enlightened West Texas dark comedy, Vengeance, from writer/director B.J. Novak. Especially when the gun-happy family from the red state makes their weekly trip to Whataburger.
“Pinocchio” is back in both live action and CGI, starring Tom Hanks as Gepetto and directed by Oscar winner Robert Zemeckis. It is a visual dazzler, but the Cogill’s considered it an overall mess of a movie.
Sommelier, Hayley Hamilton Cogill, pairs the Texas-based film with a bottle of the 2018 vintage "1836 Red” from one of the oldest Texas wineries, Llano Estacado, as nod to the independence of their former home state.
And for the pine puppet who dreams of becoming a real boy, Hayley suggests the well-known Greek wine, Restina, a pine-infused still wine beloved in the country but takes some getting used to.
