Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Bottle Shock is more than the story. It is also about people who love their work, care about it with passion and talk about it with knowledge.

The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
This intelligent, affectionate, beautifully acted movie gives crowd-pleasers a good name.

USA Today - Claudia Puig
It's the kind of feel-good movie whose resolution is evident from the start, being based as it is on a true story. But that doesn't make the journey any less interesting.
75
TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh
A charming comedy-drama that's surprising true to the events that inspired it.

Variety - Robert Koehler
Wine lovers won't just sip but guzzle a lot of this down, and the same effect that sun-dappled days and sex in California had on "Sideways" operates here.
