Review

This true story of how a small Napa winery shook the wine world in 1976 by beating the French in a blind taste test offers a fine opportunity for crowd-pleasing theatrics, and Randall Miller’s indie comedy largely delivers, thanks in part to the performances of such venerable actors as Bill Pullman and Alan Rickman.
