Monty Python’s witty John Cleese aims to educate the masses with this enlightening, snoot-free wine guide that finds Cleese guiding novices through the basics — finding wines you like, getting the best value, and serving and storing wine at home. His user-friendly vintner’s tour includes lessons in wine vocabulary and identifying subtle flavors, as well as useful tips for corking up condescending sommeliers.
I really enjoyed this documentary. I love John Cleese so of course I had to add it to my instant queue, but he was actually very informative. I’m not really a wine connoisseur, but I love a glass of Cabernet or Merlot every now and then. This show actually presented the information in layman’s terms so it’s easier to understand. The best thing is it didn’t make me feel stupid because I didn’t know the “catch phrases” of wine. If you’re a wine lover then check it out.
An unusual explorer named Gum (Richard Griffiths) and his kindly niece (Emilia Fox) adopt three orphans — Pauline (Emma Watson), Petrova (Yasmin Paige) and Posy (Lucy Boynton) — and raise them as sisters in 1930s London. But the girls must fend for themselves when Gum doesn’t return from one of his adventures. Together, they nurture their passions for acting, aviation and ballet in this charming TV adaptation of Noel Streatfield’s novel.
It’s okay… felt really rushed at the end. Not a movie I would buy, but not bad for an instant queue watch.
Our little family currently consists of Darryl, me, along with our pups Lucas & Lily. We've been together for 14 years now, and we love every minute of it. I enjoy all types of crafty things such as knitting, crocheting, photography, sewing, and making cards. Darryl enjoys gaming (both PC and PS3), playing guitar, cooking, and just veggin out. Lucas and Lily just love to sleep, eat, and pets.
