Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users. I enjoyed this video but I suspect it is because I watched the first video more than once and i knew the people. In the process, Wise and his cast succeed in opening our eyes to the labour, the history, the culture, and even the emotions that lie behind every great bottle of wine—the story, in other words, behind each and every entry on a wine list. Somm offered a window on the demanding particulars required for candidates to pass the examination to become a Master Sommelier, widely considered one of the most difficult distinctions to achieve in the wine trade. Interviews with Sommeliers, industry professionals, and winemakers bring us the history, politics and everyday BS that go into bringing wine from the vineyard to our tables. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness. External Reviews This was SO good, so fun to watch and if you want to learn a lot more about wine than just how to taste it, this is a great movie to see after seeing 'Somm'. It is a fitting addition to the first film which focuses on the life of a somm. Into the Bottle is more heavily informative, but thankfully never feels like a quagmire of exposition. That's why any marriage of wine and film is inevitably followed by a mention of the 2004 film Sideways; it's a self-perpetuating truth. I felt as though any negative position was skirted in order to keep from offending anyone (or everyone) in this community. Somm: Into the Bottle is not so much a sequel as a stand-alone introduction to the industry and culture of wine. EXCELLENT!!! The subtitles literally do not connect at all with what being said. Loved Somm but this movie is on another level, Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2017. My one and only complaint was it came across as rather pompous. The likes of Aldo Sohm, Fred Dame, Rajat Parr, and Madeline Puckette help the uninitiated navigate a minefield of jargon. Like a helicopter hovering a few blocks away. Instead of focusing on the masochistic endeavors of a bunch of obsessed white guys seeking the Master Sommelier certification, Into the Bottle tells the story of why Sommeliers are so obsessed with wine to begin with. A UK release date has not been confirmed, but is expected to be in February 2016. In the last two decades, in the whole world, there's been a Boom of the wine culture in its many aspects. Because of this film I've begun trying and collecting as many types of wine as I can find and have become particularly interested in Barolo. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. Producers: Jason Wise, Christina Wise, Jackson Myers User Ratings I loved it so much I immediately bought it and sent it to a friend. The cinematography is beautiful, and the passion for wine is evident. Critic Reviews for SOMM: Into the Bottle All Critics (2) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (2) We may never get the chance to taste a 1969 Hermitage, but watching Wise's film may be the next best thing. The original Somm film , which also premiered at the Napa Valley Film Festival in 2012, told the story of four young sommeliers cramming to pass the notoriously difficult Master Sommelier exam. Production company: Forgotten Man Films Many thanks to the producers, creators, and contributors of this documentary! This was recommended by a friend. That being said, I chose to give only four stars because I didn't feel as though some of the self-imposed questions were not actually answered - you have to infer the answer. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Unfortunately, they never once mentioned the truly fine wines like Boones Farm or Annie Green Springs. Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2016. It's the same thinking that gave Shark Week its own deserved Wikipedia entry. Dusty old bottles, convivially uncorked in mouldy cellars, offer insights into the magic of bottle age. The follow-up, Somm: Into the Bottle, is pretty much just about wine. I found this more interesting content wise but possibly less structured as a documentary. Absent mostly of an over-arching story, Wise uses a plethora of influential wine professionals who narrate over scenes from every facet of wine production. For example, the person on the screen might be talking about the field, and the terroir, while the subtitles are talking about what someone or other was like as a child. The first film follows four candidates as they study for the prestigious (and famously grueling) Master Sommelier exam. About You can still see all customer reviews for the product. We absolutely enjoyed this film. If I was a wine lover, I would likely sit there and nod "yes" at everything they said. Greatly increased my appreciation of sommelier knowledge base & also created a new perspective with which to view wine. Despite these thrills, Somm: Into the Bottle also exhibits some fairly notable omissions, entirely bypassing discussion of the robust global auction market, ignoring the American three-tier distribution system and neglecting any mention of distinctive fortified wines, such as Port and Sherry. For anyone curious about the inner workings of the wine trade and the heritage of outstanding world wineries, Jason Wise's follow-up to his 2012 documentary Somm will help decipher many of these sometimes obscure topics. Wine enthusiasts may feel some chagrin watching these rare vintages uncorked merely for a documentary, but will surely experience a frisson of anticipation when Aubert de Villaine, a seventh-generation winemaker at the world’s top Burgundy producer Domaine de la Romanee-Conti (DRC), leads the filmmakers into his immaculate cellar. I felt as though any negative position was skirted in order to keep from offending anyone (or everyone) in this community. I am not talking about the usual slight disconnect between the spoken words and the subtitles. The history, politics, pleasure, and BS of wine told through opening ten very different bottles. Into the Bottle exchanges test prep for textbook examples of winemaking by examining the multitude of factors inherent in wine production and distribution. Take chapter six, 'The Cost', where Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti takes us into the cellar and opens a 2004 Echezeaux to taste (a wine with an average price of $1040 on Wine-Searcher). There were crossed wires somewhere, and it was annoying enough for me to take off a star. The scene is introduced with voiceover from MS Brian McClintic (of the first film) describing how exclusive a tasting in the DRC cellars is. Topics are inevitably truncated, conflicts in ideology lose nuance (the use of new oak as an example), and sometimes a single point-of-view is favored. In this way it is far more invested in everything wine than the first film, which was often more a foil for exploring ideas of passion, obsession, and what people do to excel – whatever the field. Disabling it will result in some disabled or missing features. Winemakers are central to many of these conversations, of course, lending the film some of its most distinctive highlights by opening rare and historic bottles. This fascinating film is sure to entertain a broad and attentive audience. © 2020 The Hollywood Reporter Somm: Into the Bottle is produced by Samuel Goldwyn Films. Somm: Into the Bottle delves deeper into the sommelier’s profession and wine production itself, taking viewers behind the scenes to reveal how wine is actually made. I found it to be superb and a presentation every wine lover should see. Meanwhile, deft camerawork captures stunning vineyard vistas around the world, from Italy’s Alto Adige to California’s Napa Valley. “You’re not going to find a better expression of Pinot Noir in the world," and proprietor de Villaine obliges by pouring a $900 bottle of 2004 Echezeaux grand cru for the filmmakers. Contemporary winemakers Steve Matthiasson, Rajat Parr, Ted Lemon and Pax Mahle contextualize Mondavi’s contribution to the American industry with observations on the current state of wine culture in the U.S., reflecting as well on the influence of European traditions. One of Somm: Into the Bottle's strengths (and evidence of a larger budget over the first Somm) is its cinematography; from mold growing happily in France's oldest cellars, to the centuries-old bookkeeping at Schloss Vollrads, to the requisite multitude of grand vistas surrounding any one of the vineyards Wise and his team visit. He opines that wine is meant to be drunk and enjoyed, as it is food after all. I am not a Somm, but simply a wine lover, and would recommend this movie. It's one of the film's quiet contemplative moments on the role of wine in culture and history. I enjoyed this, for the most part, with one exception. Director: Jason Wise Loved it! Somm: Into the Bottle delves deeper into the sommelier’s profession and wine production itself, taking viewers behind the scenes to reveal how wine is actually made. I'm just a guy who is interested in learning more about wine. Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2019. english subs are literally from a different film, Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2020, Movie itself was fine but if you need to use subtitles and you read in English, you're going to have just the worst time bc the English subtitles (and possibly other languages, I am unable to check as I only speak English) are from a different film entirely as of 1 March 2020, Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2016. “If you get a winery visit at DRC, it’s like the Holy Grail,”  McClintic enthuses. This was SO good, so fun to watch and if you want to learn a lot more about wine than just how to taste it, this is a great movie to see after seeing 'Somm'. It's always fun to get a look behind the scenes, and learn more about the history of wine.

Guided by familiar faces from Somm, we meet the likes of Jean-Louis Chave, doyen of the Northern Rhône, and Jean Trimbach, whose family have made wine in Alsace for 13 generations. Jason and Geoff have hit the mark once more with this incredible film taking us on a journey around the world to discover more about wine. Wise revisits many characters from the first film, and attempts to make an accessible entry into the broad topic of wine. I hope they make more of these! How Wine-Searcher Works Now his follow-up, Somm: Into the Bottle, which premiered at the Napa Valley Film Festival on 11 November, looks set to meet with even greater success.
