New York Times on "Mondovino"

The New York Times publishes an article in tomorrow's newspaper about Jonathan Nossiter's "Mondovino," a (semi?) controversial documentary on the differences and tensions between small time wine makers and the big corporations.

Unsurprisingly, folks like Robert Parker seem a little peeved.

Over at Vinography, Alder has an interesting take on the movie:

Go see the movie. Then think about it. Then go buy a bottle of your favorite wine no matter whether it is made by a little guy or a big guy. Drink it. Remember what life is all about.

More coverage on Slate; a quote from Mike Steinberger:

Delicious as it is to have a documentary devoted to wine, and as entertaining as Mondovinosometimes is, the film represents something of a blown opportunity ... He has made a film that perfectly mirrors the style of wine he deplores: obvious and manipulated.
