Comedy docudrama telling the story of the origins of modern Californian winemaking.

Great movie! Alan Rickman plays a great wine snob. Based on a true story it is wonderfully delivered and well adapted to the screen. Bill Pullman is a seriously underrated actor. It is also great to see Eliza Dushku in a great ensemble cast. The movie gets you really involved in the lives of the characters and the friendships and tension are portrayed with accuracy. Great movie to have with a glass of wine!
