A Good Year | Mayle

A good vintage Max Skinner has just inherited a vineyard. Goodbye London, hello the delights of Provencal life. However, he must face the fact that the wine from his property is barely drinkable. Max calls upon an oenologist to improve his vintage, but the expert seems to have somewhat questionable practices... With his very British perspective, Peter Mayle mischievously tackles the unconditional love that the French have for their grape varieties. "As an ethnologist of village squares, he delivers his conclusions with a playful humor that forbids taking his works more seriously than he does himself." - Le Monde
