This movie should have been titled Unhappiness. I could only have pity for the poor actors who all acted brilliantly with a totally contrived story that was full of gross depravity. Nothing at all redeeming for this movie and its director. One mishap is followed by another mishap. The only plus was that the depravity is not graphically presented visually. And it ends with a family gathering, pretending that they and the rest of the characters are all normal people. There is nothing sexy at all about this film. Just a loathing of it and hoping that it will end. This is absolutely below the bottom of the barrel. Totally repugnant. Pure garbage.

"Somm" is the abbreviation" for Sommelier. "Somm 3" is the follow up to two previous documentaries: "Somm" and "Somm Into the Bottle." It is a brief history of the 1976 Judgement in Paris, thought up and executed by Steven Spurrier, comparing the best Bordeaux of the day against the best of the California Napa Valley boutique wineries, tasted blind. "Bottle Shock" is a movie that recreates the white wine Paris 1976 competition. The California wines finished on top of the heap, blind tasted by only French wine experts, in both the red and white categories. It eventually turned the wine world upside down. The setup for "Somm 3" was a blind tasting of pinot noirs from the around the world, judged by and setup by Dustin Wilson, a Master Sommelier, a restaurant and wine shop owner in NYC and blind tasted by the best wine experts in NYC. The results were surprising and eye opening to me. Then there is another pinot noir blind tasting in Paris with Jancis Robinson, Fred Dame (the Master of the Master Sommeliers in the US), and Steven Spurrier (who died recently). Plus a beginning segment where the three taste the bottles of wine which got them interested in wine. "Somm," "Somm Into the Bottle," and "Somm 3" comprise a worthy and interesting resource for non-expert wine enthusiasts.
