Great flick for any wine aficionados on here, about a group of guys studying to become Master Sommeliers

That's a good one. You have to be really creative with your descriptions if you want to be a master somm.

The fresh tennis ball or cut garden hose descriptors were pretty great.

It's one of the best docs on Netflix.

I thought SFP proved wine aficionados were full of shite.

Great movie. How specific they can get with the blind tasting part is really impressive. Those guys wasted a lot of wine, though.

Also, I love some good pretentious, esoteric flavor descriptors.

Great Flick.

Though I've always wondered who pays for all of that wine? A vast majority of what they taste is $50+/bottle. I would venture to say that a good bit is $100+

I really enjoyed it too.

There's another one called "Red Obsession" about the impact China is having on the Bordeaux market that I thought was super interesting in a completely different way.
