Somm also provides the sort of general interest that comes from watching anyone involved in an endeavor that requires dedication, discipline and a touch of craziness.

Rated: 3/4

Somm is studded with tiny, often amusing observations and insights into the highly specialized profession/obsession of sommelier.

Somm is the rare documentary that truly has you invested from the very beginning, takes you on an emotional roller coaster, and teaches you something about a topic you may otherwise never have learned.

Perhaps one of the best messages in SOMM: Into the Bottle is that wine's ultimate raison d'tre is to be enjoyed, so viewers can feel good about their evolving tastes and just drink it.

If you have any interest in wine but have never heard of a Master Sommeliers, this film is a must-watch! If you are already knowledgeable or don't care too much for anything wine-related, this is not worth your time.

I had no idea becoming a Master Sommelier was so tortuous, but wow these guys are SO dedicated and they really reap the dividends after. Well worth a watch, even if you're not a wino.
