Revision as of 01:32, 13 April 2012
Chateau Picard was an estate red wine produced at the Picard vineyards in La Barre, France. The head vigneron or winegrower during the mid-24th century was Robert Picard.
When Jean-Luc Picard returned to Earth to meet his family in 2367, he sampled a glass of Chateau Picard 2347 and mistook it for a 2346 vintage. (TNG: "Family")
Jean-Luc Picard reserved a few bottles of this wine on the USS Enterprise-D and USS Enterprise-E for special occasions. Picard poured two glasses of this wine and offered a toast to Chancellor Durken after initiating First Contact with the Malcorians. (TNG: "First Contact")
Picard also shared a quiet drink of Chateau Picard 2267 with Lieutenant Commander Data after Commander Riker's wedding. The senior officers of the Enterprise-E, also shared an emotional drink together after Data sacrificed himself to save the Enterprise and his friends. (Star Trek Nemesis)
Background
- By coincidence or not, Chateau Picard is a real wine label, although it is made in Saint Estèphe.
- The bottle of Chateau Picard is seen in the DS9 Season 1 DVD special feature "Secrets of Quark's Bar" presented by Penny Juday, although the prop was not used in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine but in Star Trek: Nemesis.
- The label seen on the bottle in Star Trek: Nemesis was designed by Monica Fedrick. [1]
- Two Chateau Picard wine bottles were sold as Lot #27 in the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction. The winner paid US$6,600, even though the pre-sale estimate was 500 to 700 dollars. After the sale, the auctioneer remarked "That's probably a record for empty wine bottles."
- Chateau Picard is mentioned in the novel The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 2 as being the wine of choice of Jeff Carlson in 1996.
