I really enjoy wine. I remember the first time I tried some when I was just 12 years old. My mum let me taste a bit of her red at Christmas. Right then and there I became a wine drinker. lol I would guess that I have tried quite a few hundred different wines over the years. It’s kind of fun tasting a new one and learning about how and where it was grown. I’ve been thinking about trying a wine club lately. Have you had any experience with any, or could you recommend any wine tasting clubs?

The movie showed promise with the opening shots panning across the stunning gilded vineyards of the Napa valley. This coming-of-age story of Californian wines appealed; especially that of chardonnay but I felt the movie lacked body and structure. Set in the mid seventies, did we really have to have the distracting “summer of luurve” bit where the two young wine makers, the Hispanic and the doped-out son of the wine maker locked their horns over a young blonde intern who didn’t own a bra? Did this help the story along or was it just a device to capture the decade?
Beyond the stunning scenery, there was nothing really memorable about this movie I’m afraid; no full in the mouth feel that would leave you talking about “a great little movie” for years to come.
