★★★★ · Wine and Windsocks! · Spuzz · 2014-01-22

Mostly an hour of clips that really go all over the place in saluting Italian Swiss Colony, a wine maker in California. We have great shots of wine bottle dressing, tours of the plant, people drinking wine, employees checking vats (for?), and other shots. The shots are REALLY REALLY random, like title cards even show up for a split second 3/4 of the way through giving us the name of the film! I actually enjoyed the randomness of this. Then, in the FINAL ten minutes of this reel, it goes black and we're treated to a ab roll of a film about.... pool chlorination featuring puppets???!!?!!?!? YES…
