'You looking at my wine?' Grant Phelps is a Kiwi winemaker who has lived in Chile for about 20 years. He is the head winemaker at Casas del Bosque in The Casablanca Valley. Matt Wilson told Decanter.com, 'The idea behind the photo is from the movie “Taxi Driver” with Robert De Niro playing a character called Travis Bickle. In the movie there is a famous scene where Travis holds up a gun and says “You talking to me”. In the stills from the movie Robert De Niro can be seen holding two guns.'
