Napa Valley, 1976. For connoisseur Steven Spurrier, there is no finer art than French wine. But rumors bandy about of a new California wine country that holds the future of the vine. Positive the small Napa wineries are no match for established French vintages, Spurrier challenges the Americans to a blind taste test. He finds the valley full of ambitious, and talented, novice vinters like Jim Barrett and his son Bo. He realizes his publicity stunt may change the history of wine forever.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Bad writing submitted by Shevardnadze on September 16, 2009, 1:33am ...or at least, some writing that really made me squirm. It's not a bad film. It's just an okay film, and one that I wouldn't say deserved a lot of hype. Some of the storylines didn't make a lot of sense either or were forced, but you really can't go wrong with shots of vinyards - those were gorgeous.

A Fun Film about Wine submitted by apicknell on June 14, 2015, 12:18pm "It is 1976. Woodstock was 7 years ago."

Alan Rickman is on target playing Steven Spurrier, the English owner of a rather low-traffic French wine shop who goes to California to prove that the French vine remains superior. Bill Pullman plays the down-on-his-luck California vintner stuck in the past, and Chris Pine is his son who hasn't quite outgrown the Summer of Love. Though the movie may have a few rough edges here or there, it is a funny and enjoyable story of how the California underdog entered the world stage of wine.
