I actually enjoyed this a lot more than the first one. Even though this one goes away from the sommelier it is done all around better
It certainly gives you insight into a field that is both intriguing and likely a scam. A fun watch that'll get you thinking.
Great movie. Peaked my interest into documentaries and wine more.
A love affair to wine which features the Somms from the first film ruminating on the wild world of wine.
Really fascinating subject. Can’t imagine being able to smell wine and instantly know everything about the grape from which it was made 🍇

In the end, both tastings cross with results that could change the world of wine forever.
