Clos Du Val in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”

Hey, kudos to Napa Valley’s Clos Du Val for the major play in the latest Judd Apatow movie, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”

Saw it at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland last night and you should, too. In the awkward Hawaii dinner scene, Peter, Rachel, Sarah and Aldous go through bottles upon bottles of red Clos Du Val wines. I couldn’t tell if the bottles were Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Pinot Noir.

Over the past six or seven years, Clos Du Val has become the Hollywood wine of sorts. They’ve landed spots in “The Sopranos,” “Sex and the City,” “The L-Word,” “Weeds,” and” How I Met Your Mother.”

Michaela Baltasar, the public relations manager at the winery, tells me that at this point, the winery gets contacted by film types for their brown and white swirly label. The set dresser for an upcoming Katherine Heigl movie called her for wines recently. And the wines will appear in the upcoming “The Soloist.”

Kick ass wines and a cute label in a movie made for millennials. Great combo. It’s even mentioned on IMDB.
