Raise a Glass to Love

source: Master of the Heart

This film ticks most of the Hallmark boxes, but there is something unpleasant about the premise. Essentially this film is more about the lead actor getting stuff she wants ather than being a love story. Having failed her exam she leverages her relationship with her boyfriend so that he gives her a job, then decides she doesn't want it after all. Great scenery and a nice cast but the transactional nature of the story line put me off.

Really enjoyed the movie. Cute story, attractive leads. The sommelier was Master Sommelier Jennifer Huether, who appeared in her first movie role as herself. Obvious she wasn't an actor, but very cool to see her. Learned a lot about wine! Hmmm, so the Hallmark Winery will definitely come into play, here. I wonder how many orders were received since this aired!? Lol.

What a great and beautiful movie. Moving storyline, gorgeous Laura Osnes and breathtakingly beautiful Juan Pablo Di Pace - their chemistry is wow. Hallmark thank you ! Please we need a second movie, and a third...

What a lovely pairing Laura Osnes & Juan Pablo Di Pace made - What a special chemistry they have. I really liked the Master Sommeliers theme. That is one thing I love about Hallmark: All the learning about new topics of interest and this one is a totally fresh concept and experience.

I love anything Hallmark and was excited to record and watch this movie. I think that they did a good job casting the male lead and he was able to deliver his lines a lot more naturally than other male actors. Laura Osnes hasn't been in a bunch of Hallmark movies but I enjoyed her acting in this one. The only thing I would criticize is the boyfriend (just a jerk but when is the boyfriend not), and parts of the storyline. I think that the two leads had good chemistry but there wasn't enough moments between them to make you want them to live together and own a business. Overall though, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and if you like Hallmarks it is definitely worth a watch.

I really like Laura Osnes in her most her movies. She has great energy and usually makes people around her better. In this movie I preferred her costar as I think he never over acted and stayed within himself. Going in i thought they put her with someone who after that not great prince Christmas movie she had no chemistry and had to carry. In this movie there was some chemistry and she didn't carry him. She is a very good actress, and I would like to see her get her own mystery series but she needs more effort to create storyline to make it work. It's a shame.she was perfect in a Homecoming for the Holidays. I am sure there is pressure at hallmark to take jobs they do Yager with , and 5hiswasnt one of them just wished she was better than her costar. She has always carried these movies.

I like both Juan & Laura, very talented actors, I just didn't like them together. They had very little natural chemistry and the story line didn't encourage romance between the two. Jenna is so uptight and career focused, there was little room for much else. Marcelo is a sensitive man who also has a passion for his craft. I felt no emotional connection between the two beyond friendship. This was rare for a Hallmark movie.

Can't think of anything negative to say about this movie. Great acting, good story and beautiful scenery.

This was excellent. Juan Pablo Di Pace as Marcello, the love interest, elevated this above most Hallmarks. He is authentic and so appealing as an Argentinian wine-maker working at a California vineyard. His acting was head's above more Hallmark hunks. The female lead, Laura Osnes, was decent in a typical Pollyanna kind of way. The romantic chemistry was spot on. I enjoyed the California wine country scenery and the detailed wine sommelier theme. One of the best Hallmark's I've seen.
