- Corked
This could almost be called a classic as it was made in 2009! The film follows four wineries in Northern California in a documentary style. It focuses on the challenges of each winery to become established.
The wide range of personalities and tactics used to achieve these goals make Corked a highly entertaining and surprisingly informative film.
- Red Obsession
This film is narrated by Russell Crowe and is another documentary which interviews a host of wine makers across the world. It racks the progression of French Wine from Bordeaux to China with a look at the current trends.
The film was very well received although it does raise a question regarding the morality of purchasing wine simply because of its reputation or price.
Interestingly the cooling of the Chinese wine market does not make this film less relevant.
- Sideways
Join two middle aged men looking for a little more out of life take a vacation through California, specifically the wineries. Sideways could be seen as a weeklong bachelor party.
There is an even balance between an attempt to teach the groom basic wine appreciation and a developing love interest which threatens to destroy and restore all that both men hold dear.
This is one film that will have you and your partner snuggled together with a bottle or two in blissful harmony.
- A Walk In The Clouds
