I forgot: You Will Be My Son, which is about the passing of a bordeaux domaine from one generation to the next, is also pretty good, if somewhat melodramatic. You can watch it on Netflix, where I bumped into it.
I liked it as well, Niels Arestrup is always interesting.
I think the critics miss some of the points of Back to Burgundy, which I liked.

I love the scene in "Ratatouille" where the angry little chef gets the rat's buddy Linguini drunk on a '61 Latour to get him to talk.
Speaking of Latour, I believe they first break and then synthesize a bottle of the 1929 in "The Big Feast" episode of Northern Exposure. Amusing.
I was just thinking about this scene the other day, funny; I can't remember why.
There's also the episode where Joel and Maggie are named joint executors by a character who's keeled over, and, as recompense, are bequeathed a bottle of good Bordeaux to enjoy together. I think it leads to hanky-panky, but the little grey cells are not doing my bidding just now.
Might be time to trot NE out for a review.

Damn. None of the recommended movies are retrievable through my streaming video providers.

I saw You Will Be My Son on Netflix. As someone already said, an Autumn's Tale is on Vimeo.

Me too. Adam Arkin’s priceless reaction to the fake now takes on an extra layer of cynical guilty pleasure in a post-Rodenstock / post-Rudy world.

I've said this before, but the best movie in which wine is involved is Erich Rohmer's An Autumn's Tale in which a friend tries to find someone for her widowed friend who is a woman winemaker. At various points, the winemaker wonders whether to identify herself as a viticulteuse or a vigneronne (this is Erich Rohmer after all) and a conversation turns on what the yield per hectare of her vineyards is, and you will find the interchange funny.
I’m trying to remember if I saw this. I went on an Eric Rohmer kick for a while in the 90s, but I’m not recalling this one.

That I liked too, eons ago, despite, or partly because of, the maddeningly charming French lack of instrumentality that runs through Rohmer.

Seconds for Tampopo (hilarious and food-obsessed) and You Will Be My Son. Yes, the latter is melodramatic, but Niels Arestrup is terrific in the role of a truly toxic parent, and there are plenty of good wine geek details.

It’s a late ‘90s Rohmer
