This event is provided by the Town of Yountville, Hestan Wine Company, Bardessono, Napa Style, V-Marketplace and a special thank you to Robin & John Dunbar (John Dunbar is Yountville Mayor) for their support of bringing Red Obsession to Yountville.

Here's some background on "Red Obsession:"

“For centuries, the French region of Bordeaux has commanded a mythical status in the world of wine.

"It stands as a symbol of wealth, power, and influence. However, its prosperity has always been linked to the capricious nature of markets and the shifting fortunes of global economies.

"China’s new super wealthy have pushed prices to stratospheric levels. Despite unprecedented demand for a finite product, Bordeaux’s new clients want it all. Will the Chinese market be the bubble that never bursts or the biggest threat yet to Bordeaux’s reputation?

"Beautifully filmed and featuring numerous luminaries from the wine world, this film by co-directors David Roach and Warwick Ross is a love letter to French wine and those who cannot live without it.”
