Product Description

"Take this, Miles" - Wine Spectator

"In the post - ‘Sideways’ years, Merlot lovers have barely been able to show their faces. But filmmaker Rudy McClain unveils his strong cinematic rebuttal - ‘Merlove,’ a documentary defending the grape..."
-San Francisco Chronicle

"As a documentary for wine lovers, it’s essential viewing...a lighthearted, philosophical odyssey...‘Merlove’ is a guaranteed treat."
-The Seattle Times

"After Sideways: Merlot movie to redress the balance"
-Decanter

Merlove is a documentary celebrating Merlot wine in response to the movie Sideways. Have the courage to embark on your own wine adventure. Merlove will help you learn more about wine, but it is your own experience that will guide your personal journey. As you try new wines you will gain love and appreciation for the gifts that wine can bring. Like anything in life, wine can be enjoyed and enhanced by sharing it with others. The bottom line is good wine is good wine and bad wine is bad wine, but that should not stop the adventure. The message of Merlove is that no single grape varietal should be singled out as superior or inferior to others. Enjoy as we interweave documentary style filmmaking with the animation of a bottle of Merlot wine named “Merlove” who must find a way to fill itself with love when aimlessly tossed into the ocean of mediocre Merlot wine.

We want people to know that Merlot is ready to be loved again by all and remember that every vintage has a new story to tell...

Lovin' Merlove

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2010

Merlove is a truly enjoyable movie from the first sip to the last drop.
I love that fact that the film educates and promotes Merlot, but not at the expense of any other varietal. As a matter of fact, the film makers go to great lengths to encourage wine lovers to explore the multitude of wines available.
It is obvious that the film makers love Merlot and thoroughly enjoyed making this film. The photography was great, the characters engaging, the story informative and amusing, and the subject near and dear to my heart.
All in all, a great film, giving us insight to the history, process and passion that is Merlot.
Cheers!

Don't waste your money: a massive disappointment

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2010

Verified Purchase

What a dreadful movie. The graphics look like they were done by a 10 year old, the photography and film quality were appalling and the filmaking was dire. I don't know why this guy ever thought he could be a filmaker. I could have done better with a $1,000 camcorder in my bedroom.

Seeing a bunch of crass Americans visiting such prestigeous places as Chateau Petrus was heart breaking. What a shame. Every 5 minutes, I was tempted to turn it off, but kept hoping it would get better, but alas, it never did.

There were interviews with some great French and American wine makers that could have made this a great documentary, but it was absolutely awful.

Open the Merlove

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2010

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this documentary. It's pretty over the top in an American way that you might find a little disconcerting if you're an introvert. However at any level it's definitely worth it whatever stage you're at with wine.

My favourite line is "If it's red say cherries, if it's white say apples then swirl it around and go 'nice'....."

If I was you I'd watch it.

Fun, Educational movie

Granted this is a low budget movie, BUT, it is interesting, fun. It is a must watch for people interested in wine. Lots and lots of Merlot history and facts presented in an entertaining way?
To be enjoyed with a nice bottle of Merlot.

If you're thinking of buying Merlove, follow the NIKE slogan: Just Do It. I did, and I have seen it two times in a theater. If you can't afford to visit French, Washington, or California wine countries, this film gives its audience a good flavor of them. Many funny moments, like "Mamma said, 'No.'"

Grabs you right at the beginning ~ great humor & insights into the making & drinking of Merlot! Opinions from around the world. A must see. It will change how you think about wine and open doors to new ways of experiencing Merlot . . .or more aptly put ~ MerLOVE!

Worst wine movie I have seen.

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

Do not buy this film. Since I have been a wine consumer for most of my life and keep a well stocked cellar of fine wines, I have a good collection of wine movies of all sorts. "Merlove" is so patently silly and non-informative I could barely watch it through. It says NOTHING. And it is so poorly and amateurishly produced it hardly even qualifies as a home movie. Documentary? Poppycock. Don't waste your money on this trash. I regret buying it. Amazon should stop selling it. Amazon needs some minimal standards.

Great and fun movie

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2013

We bought this movie a few years ago and watch it at least once a year, the more you learn about wine the more you will appreciate this show
