i watched the trailer and was interested,
but the scores on imdb were quite low. the
subject matter is what interests me. i'm
not a wine expert, but the complexity of
the exam is what struck me the most, and
the people who choose to enter the field.
i think being a sommelier is mostly fluff,
but i imagine they make a decent living.

I was turned off by the number of stunningly stupid statements that found their way into the 2-minute trailer alone.

"It's a lot more than grape juice; it's a drug really," one participant opines, intending the last part as a figurative evocation of oenomaniac obsession, and seemingly forgetting that alcohol is, in fact, literally a drug.

"Nobody ever said that anything you worked hard for was going to be easy," tautologizes another.

Then the Master Sommelier candidates proceed to stumble over themselves and swear a lot.

Why would I want to spend 100 minutes learning anything about these people?
