Today we have Chris McGilvray on the show to talk about his new documentary film Eden, a beautiful story about the succession of a historic winery in the Santa Cruz mountains. Jeffrey and Ellie Patterson dedicated 40 years of their lives to Mount Eden vineyards and their children are wrestling with whether to carry on their family business or go off to pursue their paths away from the mountain.
The film “Eden” will premiere on March 9 at 4:30 p.m. as part of the San Jose Cinequest film festival at the historic California Theater. Tickets are available for $14 here. Following the screening, join the Pattersons and the filmmakers at a Mount Eden party happening at the nearby Westin Hotel. Tickets are available here for the after-party at $50 and include wine and appetizers. If you’d like to view a trailer of the film, click here.
