If only all things in life were as versatile as a good bottle of wine. It can make the perfect gift, a classic kitchen staple, a companion for lazy nights in, or a way to impress your date while dining out. But although buying a bottle has never been easier, with all of the options in an over-saturated wine market, picking the right bottle can be tough. Thanks to certified sommelier Brian Kulich, you’ll never pick the wrong bottle again, regardless of budget. As the co-founder of consumer wine site Block122.com, Kulich knows exactly how to find great wine at every price point. Read on for his top recommendations for all types of wine fans whether you’re a baller, or just ballin’ on a budget.

Calling all foodies and film fans – if you’re craving an introspective story about family, fear, and finding the strength to follow a dream, Jon Favreau serves it up in “Chef.” Though he’s most recently known for his work helming big budget blockbusters like “Iron Man” and “Iron Man 2″ Favreau steps outside the expected with “Chef” – a lighthearted comedy about a man’s personal journey to reignite a passion, and reconnect with his son. “Chef” follows the story of Carl Casper (Favreau), who decides to start a food truck business after losing his job at a high profile restaurant. The journey takes Casper across the country, bringing new experiences, challenges, and the opportunity to spend some overdue time with his son, played by Emjay Anthony.

I’m in a Soderbergh state of mind this week on The Watchlist. Read on for my thoughts on what I’ve been watching, and leave a comment below to wax poetic on the movies you’ve been loving, loathing, or playing on repeat this week!

Nobody ever said our 20′s were going to be easy. Sure, they come with their fair share of perks, but not even the blessings of wrinkle-free skin, a fast metabolism, and the freakish ability to function with a hangover can save you from the perils of paying off student loans in a job-less economy. As if weeding out your college drinking buddies isn’t hard enough. In the spirit of the quarter-life crisis, and transitioning into adulthood, I went on a search to find some cinematic support either inspired by, or featuring characters currently experiencing the all-too-familiar trials and tribulations that come along with being a 20-something in this week’s installment of The Watchlist.

Have you ever had an experience where you revisit a movie and the second viewing is somehow very different than how you had originally remembered it? After a recent trip to Blumhouse, I came home with some horror goodies including “Sinister” on Blu-ray. Although I had seen it a few years ago, I couldn’t resist returning for round two on a overly-caffeinated sleepless night. Now I don’t think I’ll ever sleep again…

What have I been watching? This week I delved into the music of “The Doors” and “The Magic Flute” as well as the comedic ramblings, stories, and musings from Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon in Britain’s TV-to-film adaptation of “The Trip.” Read on for information, and insight in this week’s edition of The Watchlist.

Don’t watch these movies unless you’re ready to pack up your bags and flee to another country! At least that’s the affect they tend to have on me. Which movies make you want to see the world? Click here for my picks, and leave a comment below with yours!
