The Princess Bride & Buttercup Chardonnay
The Pairing
The Princess Bride by William Goldman and Buttercup Chardonnay
I mean, it was just too easy.
I was strolling through the Chardonnay section and saw this bottle, and immediately thought of our beautiful Buttercup and her beloved Westley (as anyone in their right mind should).
It's a little more expensive than the typical wine I drink, but I quickly discovered that it was worth every penny. Seriously, if you need/want/deserve/crave a decadent evening, please grab this pairing. The Princess Bride will make you laugh, and cry, and sigh, and smile. The wine probably won't make you do all those things (that would be a little weird...) but it will make you pause and think "So that's what Chardonnay should taste like."
You know how you always hear that Chardonnay has a buttery taste? I figured I had that taste pinned down, and then I discovered Buttercup Chardonnay. I actually didn't know what to make of it at first, but after a few more sips, I realized that I loved loved loved what I was drinking.
The same was true when I read The Princess Bride. I've obviously seen the movie a hundred times, so for once I was skeptical about whether or not the book could do justice to its own film. It takes some getting used to, like the first few sips of wine, but then you realize that you'll need to settle in because you aren't going to put it down. All of the major characters and plot points are there, you just get a ton more background and depth to everything.
I know I'm probably not supposed to have favorites, but I enjoyed the hell out of this combination. I hope you do, too!

You obviously have to watch (or re-watch) the movie after discovering the details within and behind the story. While you're at it, light this sweet and happy buttercup blossom candle. Finally, if you want more of the world of The Princess Bride, check out Cary Elwes's book As You Wish which goes behind the scenes of the making of the movie!
