This movie alternated between captivating wine drama and formulaic romance.
The wine drama part was held together by the Bill Pullman and Freddy Rodriguez, both excellent. It had beautiful scenery, a love triangle with a pretty girl, an immigrant story, and maybe half a dozen colorful side characters. All ingredients of a good movie.
But then the master craftsmen in charge of this masterpiece added the final ingredient -- namely the entire catalog of Hollywood romantic-adventure-drama-comedy cliché's. Something like Coyote Ugly, but in wine country.
That's it in a nutshell. With a few bottles it becomes fun movie, but not quite film festival worthy. Don't know what they were thinking at Sundance, I'm giving it a 4 (BYOB).
