5.0 out of 5 stars Switzerland is the place to go !, November 16, 2000

This review is from: The Lost Art of Winemaking [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This documentary on Swiss wine making is truly exceptional. I didn't see the hour go by ! I love wines but had no idea how the Swiss tend the vineyards, all the work that is done by hand. I have a few videos on wine, but this is the best as you really follow the 4 seasons with the winemaker, from planting the new shoots to the vinification process. The scenes from the harvest are breathtaking. And as an added bonus local wine experts give you tips of wine tasting. So much tender loving care goes into the making of Swiss wines, it is exceptional - totally different to other wine making areas of the world. Now all I want to do is to go to Switzerland on Lake Geneva "and visit the place where wine is still made the old fashion way - by human hands". Even if you don't know anything about wines, you'll love the music and scenery! Breathtaking !

5.0 out of 5 stars Swiss quality, November 21, 2000

I agree entirely with Bria from New York. I had the chance to pick up a copy while on a business trip to Geneva, Switzerland. It is a wonderful film! You won't regret buying a copy and believe me, you'll watch it over and over. It's the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys a glass of wine. And it's true... there is no doubt about Swiss quality! Does someone know where I can find Swiss wines in the States ?????

Hi, I'm Marty and I happen to be the neighbour of Max, Hedwige, Walter, Stephane and all the other wine growers who made this wonderful movie. We run the restaurant just next to their place.
If you ever happen to come to Switzerland I recommand you to come to our place the Chemin de Fer restaurant after your winetasting. Cheers and love from Switzerland!!!
