The Chateau Meroux 2011


The Chateau Meroux (2011)     Wendy has been estranged from her father for a long time.  She gets a phone call telling her he has died and left her the Chateau Meroux in Napa Valley.  She’s very excited until she learns there is a million dollar credit line, the wine is good but too expensive to sell very many bottles.  The competition is a box wine vineyard with a very devious owner who wants to buy the Chateau.  Filmed in Oakdale, CA.
     This is very predictable, beautiful scenery and beautiful cheerful actors but no depth.  Warning, chick flick!!  This screams Hallmark or Lifetime.  3* (This movie is OK)
94 min, Drama directed by Bob Fugger with Maria Sokoloff, Barry Watson, Christopher Lloyd, Jeffrey Weissman, Amanda Righetti, Taylor Negron, Daniel Bastreghi, Stephen Pawley, Nathaniel Scott, Jeffrey Weissman.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 4.7 out of 10, no critic 26% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
