A slightly tipsy, thoroughly charming documentary about winemaking in post-Soviet Georgia.

Oenophiles may swoon over the delicious native varietals that tease Quinn's palate, but Railsback's thin and disorganized documentary doesn't go down so smoothly.

"Our Blood Is Wine" boasts a fascinating subject, and a commendable desire to redefine the romance of winemaking away from European-bred elitism; unfortunately, it's a haphazard tasting.

The film embraces both its subjects and the audience in a kind of cultural exchange that you rarely find in films like this.

A great introduction to Georgian culture that is as rich and a beautiful as the country itself. Notwithstanding Stalinism and post-Stalinist economic malaise, the nation lives.

A documentary with far more on its mind than fermented grape juice, though it sometimes seems at a loss for what to say and when to say it."
