The wine weekend continues Saturday with a 6 p.m. wine tasting and food bites paired by French Valley Vineyard followed by a 7 p.m. screening of “The Taste of Things,” a visually sumptuous love letter to food, cooking, and a quiet romance between a cook and the renowned gourmet she works for.

A 4 p.m. screening will follow of “Chocolat,” the Oscar-nominated story about a woman who opens a chocolate shop in a small French village, awakening both the palates and hearts of the locals.
