It's a Netflix flick and it's set right here in Memphis, so of course I
spent more time trying to figure out exactly where they shot each scene
than I did listening to dialogue. Our hero is in his 20s and hoping to
follow his dreams of becoming a master sommelier. Dad, on the other
hand, expects him to take over the family business. If it sounds like
you've seen it before, well maybe you have, but I'm pretty sure you
haven't seen it quite like this. I found it delightful start to finish
and I recommend it. I don't, however, recommend pairing Memphis barbecue
with wine. You'll just ruin two good things at once. Trust me on this.

Given my track record with "black" movies, I was surprised to get into
this one ...especially with how, for the most part, the writing didn't
insult the audience with condescension. (And now I'll have to find out
what else this guy has done...)

Ha, he's a writer from 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' and 'Scrubs'. Shoulda known.

Hopefully you learned something about wine in the process. Instead of
your usual whines.

Well, I learned there are only ~250 Master Sommeliers in the world...

Amazing acting and the story is so
relatable. I give it a 10/10 coz the storytelling is different from
the rest of the Netflix films. Also, I would recommend it to any young
person trying to figure out what they were born to do and are feeling
stuck.
