This was totally disappointing. The apparently true story offered every opportunity to make a great movie and instead we ended up with this mess.
The relationships just don't work. Father/son, boy/girl, White/Hispanic- it just doesn't matter, everyone of them comes off as written rather than realistic.
There are several sentimental "odes to wine" scenes that are completely unnecessary and obnoxious.
Save your money and wait for the DVD where you can fast forward through much of it and still enjoy the interesting story of how, where, and when California wine became the equal of French wine.
