Who cares about the con?! What really blows me away about this film is Rudy's palate. Imagine having a palate so sensitive that he could blend existing wines and fool even the so-called experts with his re-creations. His ability to re-imagine a wine he only tried at a tasting event was, and is, astonishing. Remember, what tripped Rudy up were the little things, which only goes to show you that the devil is always in the details. A fun film for wine geeks and for those needing to be amused by the foibles of the very rich and pretentious.

You know, it's funny. This happens to be one of my wife's favorite shows. I only watched it in her company for quite some time until I realized it is arguably the best written show available on broadcast television. Sure, the Blacklist has more action, the Witcher is more guilty fun, but as a portrayal of a modern milieu, complete with a modern sensibility, This is Us is compelling. I consider it the only "intelligent" drama series on television. No doubt, this is the reason that NBC has chosen to end its run, More's the pity.
