I enjoyed it, was good seeing the passion the winemakers have, and their willingness to open a good bottle. (well apart from DRC with the 2004 Exch :D). The passing of the baton to the younger generation (Trimbach). Didn't see it as being too pretentious or anything, the people they showcased are all industry figures/legends so I'm not sure how else you can portray them.

I enjoyed Somm as well.

Just watched Sourgrapes
Incredible archival footage of Rudy
He is pretty much just a brilliant conman

I didn't think it was that bad...it wasn't that good either..

Most normal wine drinkers would consider us all pretentious...

I did like Somm and Sour Grapes considerably more though...

After the rave reviews on here I decided to watch it.
It was ok. Pretty good seeing the old cellars and old bottles. Some interesting stories.

Wine score - Merlot
