    From Bill Anderson@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 18 19:58:54 2021
    It's a Netflix flick and it's set right here in Memphis, so of course I
    spent more time trying to figure out exactly where they shot each scene
    than I did listening to dialogue. Our hero is in his 20s and hoping to
    follow his dreams of becoming a master sommelier. Dad, on the other
    hand, expects him to take over the family business. If it sounds like
    you've seen it before, well maybe you have, but I'm pretty sure you
    haven't seen it quite like this. I found it delightful start to finish
    and I recommend it. I don't, however, recommend pairing Memphis barbecue
    with wine. You'll just ruin two good things at once. Trust me on this.

    Given my track record with "black" movies, I was surprised to get into
    this one ...especially with how, for the most part, the writing didn't
    insult the audience with condescension. (And now I'll have to find out
    what else this guy has done...)

    Ha, he's a writer from 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' and 'Scrubs'. Shoulda known.

    Hopefully you learned something about wine in the process.  Instead of
    your usual whines.

    Well, I learned there are only ~250 Master Sommeliers in the world...

    There's a documentary on that subject.

    Amazing acting and the story is so
    relatable. I give it a 10/10 coz the storytelling is different from
    the rest of the Netflix films. Also, I would recommend it to any young
    person trying to figure out what they were born to do and are feeling
    stuck.
