Compelling trailer for new wine documentary 'Eastbound Westbound'

There is another wine documentary to watch this year, titled Eastbound Westbound: A Winemaker's Story - From Bordeaux and California, examining the connections between Bordeaux in France and California winemakers in America . This has already aired at a few wine film festivals earlier this year. This project, started in 2020, was carried by four charismatic Bordeaux wine families, main actors of this film, appearing as themselves in this opus. Eastbound Westbound is a modern and fast-paced cinematic documentary about wine, conceived as an investigation between France and the United States, tracing the historical and unbreakable links between the United States and the wines of Bordeaux! It is a friendship that we owe to Thomas Jefferson. He was ambassador to France before becoming the third president of the United States… The film offers a recreation sequence dating back to the 1700s showing how wine was made then. It looks like a must-have watch for all oenophiles. Or anyone who appreciates the meeting of two cultures.

Here is the official trailer (+ poster) for Julien Couson's doc Eastbound Westbound, from YouTube:

The investigation of this film aims to trace, understand and demonstrate the historical and unbreakable links between the United States and Bordeaux, France and its wines. An investigation like no other, Eastbound Westbound allows the viewer to understand how this Franco-American friendship around Bordeaux wines was born in the 18th century around the greatest connoisseur of fine wines and lover of Bordeaux, the American Thomas Jefferson, ambassador of the United States in Paris and the third President of the United States. Eastbound Westbound is directed by French filmmaker Julien Couson, co-creator of PMG Productions, who makes his debut as director having created many other documentaries and short films for various corporate clients before. Produced by Gérard Spatafora and Frédéric Lot, who came up with the original idea for the film. The documentary previously premiered at the Sonoma Film Festival and the Vineyard Film Festival earlier this year. No final release date has yet been confirmed.
