Thanks, Glen, for bringing this up again.  Look for me about halfway thru
the movie, in a 4-minute scene that takes place in a barn where the locals
decide to send the owner's kid to Paris for the wine tasting event.  I'm in
a red plaid shirt and cowboy hat standing next to Bill Pullman, one of the
main stars of the movie.  The owner of the AMX is a friend of mine, and
you'll see him getting into the trunk of his car.  I am in that scene too
but you won't find me because I'm being blocked by the other star, Freddie
Rodriguez, who was standing in front of me during the shooting of the scene
in front of the hotel.  The movie gets off to a slow start but does pick up.
Not a stellar movie but not a bad one either.  Watch it just for the AMCs if
nothing else.

Dredging up an old post here.  The trailer for this movie appears on the DVD
of Slumdog Millionaire.  I watched Bottle Shock last night.  The Gremlin is
nice, but they gave it a squeaking sound whenever it is shown in motion.  It
does get a flat tire, which is just a plot device for Alan Rickman's
character to meet the owner of one of the wineries.  There is a nice view of
the AMX in front of the hotel where Rickman stayed at about 32 minutes in.
The Gremlin is also in that shot.  Glimpses of the AMX can be seen in
subsequent scenes in front of the hotel.

For anyone who has Netflix, the movie can be streamed to your computer.
