I admire the producer for making and bringing this story to the public. Few who enjoy wine these days know why there is such a selection of good wine at their store. However, I was disappointed. It is such a good story that could have been so much more of a movie. It lacked the passion needed. This is probably the most important event in the history of the international wine industry and in making wine a part of regular life in the United States. Only at the end is the scope of the competition's event given any recognition by Spurrier (Rickman). A documentary would have done a better job of telling this story and keeping the fact intact.
