Documentary “Somm” gets snapped up

A wine story will be splashing on the silver screen this year: Samuel Goldwyn has bought the theatrical and digital distribution rights to “Somm.” The documentary, directed by Jason Wise, follows four candidates studying for the Master Sommelier exam. It will be released as a feature documentary some time this summer. The film got good reviews around the time of the Napa Valley Film Festival; while it’s not likely to knock off The Avengers, Part 56, from the top spot this summer, I, for one, am looking forward to it. For now, I’ll have to settle for the above trailer.

  1. It sound great. I hope it’s followed by a Master of Wine documentary.
    I noticed that some other replier has almost my same name. Once I went to lunch with my friend Robin, and the waiter said that 7 Robins had been there that day. Once in awhile we all come out at the same time.


  2. The only thing missing in the film is a somm named “Jiro”.
