Audience Reviews

Narate 9/10 Dec 12, 2024
_"If anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any fucking Merlot"_

As I get older, I have realized that this movie is written really well. Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church have a hilarious chemistry and I can't help but agree with Miles a few times. I wish I loved wine like Miles does, but I do love hearing him describe each one with a passion.
