This is the story of one of America’s lesser-known triumphs against the odds, which occurred in 1976 in California, when novice vintner Jim Barrett (Bill Pullman) risked everything to realise his dream of creating the perfect hand-crafted California Chardonnay. Meanwhile in Paris, struggling wine seller Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman) came up with an idea for a publicity stunt to help his floundering shop. Little did Spurrier and Barrett realise, they were about to change the history of wine forever and put Californian wines on the map for good.
