The feature documentary SOUR GRAPES, co-directed by Jerry Rothwell and Reuben Atlas, pops the cork on a the world’s greatest wine fraud.
Q&A with director and Cara Cusumano (Director of Programming, Tribeca Film Festival) to also include a special wine tasting presentation.
With youthful charisma and pockets full of cash, Rudy Kurniawan earns the reputation of a wine savant, ingratiating himself with some of high society’s most fervent connoisseurs. His Gatsbyesque path collides with US billionaire Bill Koch, and Laurent Ponsot, a Burgundian winemaker, resulting in a humorous and suspenseful investigation into one of the most ingenious cons of our time.
