Finally a movie that is built on wines as a stage. Quite inspiring vinously and a great soundtrack. The focus, as I've rightly read, really was on pinot noir and failures. (Coincidental? Perhaps, but poetic no less.)
While I'm not a big Californian pinot noir fan, this movie had me pick up the recent notes I jotted down from the Californian cult pinot noir dinner held some two weeks back at Summer Pavilion Ritz-Carlton. Dehlinger's Octagon and Au Bon Climat's Mt. Carmel came to mind. Delicious wines, sappy, sweet and quite delicate.
It is a guy's movie. Pretty much typifies man's weakness and susceptibility to certain stupidities. Nice take on the wines too. Well written, well acted, understated and funny.
