eduardo b The topic of the documentary is amazing and the production is honest about it but it felt like it felt short of really uncovering the really interesting story behind it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The greatest 01 hour: and 26 minutes with real footage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review s r I saw this after reading about Petrus Winery in an autobiography by Stevan Pierce. When reading about it I read an article about the amazing history of the winery and this movie was cited. It was Informative and interesting despite it being predictable. I was sad when they destroyed all the bottles of fake wine since they would have been collector's items. I think Rudy would be interesting to meet and he should start his own winery given his great palette. It was on Hulu. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review susan j Pretty good! What a strange world top-tier wine collecting and auctions is--wow! Tjis guy is essentially a genius master art aficionado and forger---but the art is wine. Fantastic, unusual story and really well told. Nicely made documentary -- maybe even 4.5 stars. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome movie that peels back the pretentiousness of the elite wine world. The documentary does a great job highlighting the disbelief of the friends that claim they can taste the real wine even to this day. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member I was familiar with the case and topic.... But it can give a wine enthusiast some insight. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
