From the Vine is a wonderful time filler movie and a good choice for a few moments of dreaming. At its core, very much like A Good Year, is that our choices have far reaching consequences. Is it worthy of an Oscar? Nope. Is it worthy of a Razzie either? Absolutely not. It does however offer a good message.

This doc is truly about real folks in a business that rarely makes one wealthy. Their love for the process and result outweighs the rush that a huge bank account gives a small producer. Winemakers, brewers and distillers are an interesting bunch and I know many. That first sip and recognition that the product in the glass pleases the drinker is what the vintner shoots for. Its that simple. Tin City is more than just a place. It's a feeling and belief that produces art.

It's a damn shame that a show so well written is cancelled for a business decision. Suffice it to say, I laughed, I cried and I'd dispense Lilyhammer justice on anyone whose fault it was to take this charming show off the air. Shame!
