Howie It has never been about blockbusters or crowd-pleasers, although films such as this year’s “Slum Dog Millionaire” may turn out to be both.

The Telluride Film Festival has always been about quality not brand names and Hollywood endings – although at times both appear on the screen.

The art of filmmaking, the TFF’s core value, is what drives their programming not just over Festival weekend, but throughout the year. Case in point is this weekend’s program: “A FREE Cinematic Weekend with Howie Movshovitz of NPR.”

John-Grape-450wx325h “Panache” is his middle name. A Brit by birth, John Sutcliffe’s wines are as mellifluous as his vowels, which are decidedly upper “U.” (Britspeak for Upper Class.)

John came to the USA in 1968 after serving seven years in the British Army. He graduated Reed College in 1973 before moving to New York City. Once in town, John took a big bite out of the Big Apple by successfully navigating the perilous restaurant world: first he managed the uber hip Maxwell’s Plum, then helped Warner Leroy re-open Tavern on the Green. A series of other high profile eateries followed, including two in Carolina, John’s next address in the States.
