The Weekend Binge: 'Killers of the Flower Moon', 'Belgravia's' Next Chapter, Clive Owen in 'Monsieur Spade', Jodie Foster in 'True Detective' + A Red Blend For Those Chilly Nights
It's the weekend, let's binge!
Who’s ready for a glass of wine? 🍷 #DryJanuary is already feeling a little wet.
This weekend, as you’ve probably already started your binge session and noticed, is one of the bigger premiere weekends of the month. Jodie Foster takes on HBO’s popular detective series in the fourth chapter of True Detective and Clive Owen makes his return on the small screen in AMC+’s Monsieur Spade, another detective series, but based on Humphrey Bogart’s character in the classic film the Maltese Falcon.
Another series that premiered shortly after the dawn of the pandemic in April 2020, makes its return in the second season in Belgravia: The Next Chapter on MGM+ — a series that was created by Downton Abbey and The Gilded Age’s Julian Fellowes. And of course, the soon-to-be Oscar-nominated film (nominations announced January 23) Killers of the Flower Moon premieres on Apple TV+.

Sip & Stream: Solroom California Red Blend x Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words (MAX)
I love classic movies and the film legends that starred in them. Of course one of the classics is Casablanca that featured Ingrid Bergman. I just discovered a documentary on MAX that provides never-before-seen footage, interviews with her children and a rare look behind the scenes of this legendary actress. Streaming Time: 1 hour, 55 minutes (2015).
I found a wonderful California red blend from Lodi that blends Shiraz, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. It’s a full-bodied wine with notes of black fruits, dark cherries, and chocolate. In the glass the wine is a beautiful dark, plum color and is well-balanced in acidity.
Happy Streaming! 📺 🍷
