Summer in the Vineyard

Sweet story. Good acting. I especially liked the non-lead actors. BUT WHAT HAPPENED to the original Charles Baldwin--Tom Butler. I liked him alot as the girl's dad.

Wow! I loved Autumn in the Vineyard. I haven't even finished this, but I plan to. I just wanted to offer my opinion from what I've seen so far. The dialogue was so hard to follow and the storyline as well. The director assumed you knew the past story. The characters were talking so quickly that I could barely understand what they were saying. Maybe it will get better as I watch the movie but such a disappointment from the first one.

A pale sequel to the very good Autumn in the Vineyard. The same beautiful landscapes without any of the interesting suspenseful plot points and multidimensional characters of the original. Frankie and Nate are trying to keep their new venture afloat but have conflicting management styles and suffer from a lack of communication. At the end they learn to work together. Thanks to a miracle at the end their vineyard is saved. Yawn.

I found this one and Valentine's in the Vineyard much more enjoyable than the first. The friendly competition between all the vineyards is fun without being malicious, and the characters have good chemistry. The romance seems a little forced at times, but I think that is the lead actress just being a bit awkward.

In this sequel to "Autumn in the Vineyard" there is relatively little romance. Most of the story is about the logistics of hosting a large festival and dinner. Fortunately the last portion of the film is more entertaining, and the story wraps up nicely.

The characters are enjoyable, as in the first film, but their relationship is plagued by communication issues that prove to be a plot point. Perhaps there will be a third installment, allowing the characters to indulge their romantic inclinations more. The valley setting is a beautiful place in which to situate a romance.
