THIS tale of wine and love is an example of what Hallmark can produce when they really set their collective minds to it.
Laura Osnes is a stunning leading lady, and I really wish she'd been in more Hallmark films before decamping for GAC Family, where films are, to my mind, of a lesser standard. Osnes is well cast opposite Juan Pablo Di Pace. Who I don't think has starred for Hallmark before.
Credit Emily Schmitt and Laura Rohrman for giving them a good script with which to work.
British Columbia wine country stands in for Sonoma - BC is called upon often by Hallmark to stand in for all sorts of different cities - and it is stunning countryside, well captured. There's something spectacular about wine country, especially in the fall. Actually, Hallmark's Fall Harvest movies are amongst their most visually spectacular, year-in, year-out.
If only there was more of this sort of Hallmark movie than the other formulaic, cliche-riddled, poorly-written and poorly-acted variety that, unfortunately, is the norm for them.
Cheers!
