Wine Enthusiast published a super fun pairing story, “Let’s All Go to the Lobby: Your Favorite Concession Fare Gets Paired,” in the May 2025 issue featuring E. Guigal 2021 Côtes du Rhône.
The story encourages readers to level up their movie theater experiences beyond flat soda and soggy popcorn. Among the selected blockbuster pairing ideas is the E.
