Somm III 2018

     This is the third installment of a documentary series on wine tasting.  Three of the greatest legends in wine meet in this film.  They will drink the most rare bottles of their careers.  Also, the best blind tasters of today gather to settle an age-old argument.  The results could change the world of wine forever?

     I have not seen the films Somm and Somm II.  I did find this film interesting and I am not a wine expert.  There is drinking wine, comparing wines at a tasting, talking/writing about wine and these can be three different things.  It is a fact that ordinary people will probably not ever be able to taste rare old bottles of wine?  Isn’t a nice drinkable wine that pares with the food good enough?  Obviously not!!  3* (This movie is OK)

78 min, Doc directed by Jason Wise with Ian Cauble, Fred Dame, Paul Draper, Laura Fiorvanti, Jay Fletcher, Becky Wsserman Hone, Steve Matthiasson, Brian McClintic, Carole Meredith, Rajat Parr, Dlynn Proctor.
