The Ways of Wine

Argentinian director Nicolás Carreras makes his feature debut with this docu-drama that blurs the line between fiction and non-fiction. After a world renowned Sommelier loses his palate during an important wine event, he desperately looks for a remedy that takes him on a journey home. Carreras used the renowned Sommelier, Charlie Arturaola for this fictionalized film who makes for an entertaining and compelling character. There are some pacing issues but otherwise an entertaining film about wine and the people who are passionate about it. 1001 Films' coverage of the Napa Valley Film Festival.
