Wine and film at the Madison

madison theater la strada posterThe Madison Theater is hosting an event September 26 that will pair wine with film. Blurbage:

Attendees will sample six Italian wines prior to watching La Strada. Controversial in it's day, La Strada has become "One of the most influential movies ever made," according to the American Film Institute. Many critics believe it to be Fellini's best work. This event marks the third of a wine and movie series that looks to both educate attendees on wine and serve as a social event for the Pine Hills neighborhood and local colleges.

Another event in the series earlier this summer paired six Napa Valley wines with the film Bottle Shock. (It also has an event pairing local craft beer and a screening in October.)

The tasting/screening next week is Saturday, September 26 starting at 6 pm (the film will screen at 8:15 pm). Tickets are $20. It's a 21+ event.

The Madison advertises on AOA.

This sounds like a great event, but the few times that I went to movies at the Madison earlier this year were really marred by a LOT of sound bleeding from one theater to the next. Do you really want to be hearing a second tier Kevin Hart movie's soundtrack while watching a Kurosawa film?

Does anyone know if they've gotten better about that in the 8ish months since I last went?

Agree with jm. Last time we went, heard two movies at the same time. Not going again.

The Scoop

For a decade All Over Albany was a place for interested and interesting people in New York's Capital Region. It was kind of like having a smart, savvy friend who could help you find out what's up. AOA stopped publishing at the end of 2018.
