User Reviews

I love Hallmark movies!

But this one disappoints on all of the points made above. Willamette, dammit!

And the obvious baby bump.

But most glaring of all were the multiple incorrect wine references! For a wine enthusiast, it took away all credibility of this script. And for a very minimal effort, you could have had a wine consultant, such as myself, read over it first and save some embarrassment. "The grapes are Chianti from somewhere in Italy." What???? Chianti IS somewhere in Italy. It is a region, not a grape. The grape was likely Sangiovese. And no self respecting winemaker would walk into a lounge in Paris and order a Merlot. European wines are not named by their grape, but their region. I could go on, I will not. I need to finish watching this fortunately endearing movie.
