I have been enjoying the story! I mean... What's not to like? It has
it all - A basic course in wine appreciation, people drinking gallons
of first growth wines, a little zen, some drama, some mellodrama, a
love story, a coming of age story, some Japanese subtlty, some
overacting, a hokey soundtrack, English terms defined in english, like
"renaissance" (it is in Japanese with english subtitles,) a high stakes
competition in wine tasting between enemies, and some great surprises.
It even has Cliff Notes. It has been interrupting my work for a couple
of days now...
