I was recently looking around on the internet and made the interesting discovery that a winery in Chile produced a wine called...
Zardoz. For those who don't recognize the name, it's the same as a
bizarre 1974 Sean Connery movie in which Connery plays a Stone Age-like savage who ends up in an "enlightened", technologically community that is however impotent. Oh, there's more to it than this: the advanced civilization is amazed by Connery's sexual virility (and the fact that he, like a lot of the actors in the movie, goes around wearing next to nothing) and try to figure out what makes it tick. There's a giant floating head that spews guns, and an interesting explanation of how they got the title. It's the sort of movie that would best be seen on
TCM Underground: if you're up for a good laugh,
Zardoz is a howler.
And perhaps after you drink your Zardoz with dinner, you'll be up for some
Idaho champagne for dessert?
