On this episode of Pour the Wine, It’s Rom-Com Time, Garry and Amy are uncorking Hallmark’s Toast to Italy and following the hunt for a legendary bottle of “love wine.” From a competitive wine auction meet cute to charming train stations, flower-lined streets, and breathtaking vineyard views, this Hallmark romance serves up plenty of Italian scenery with a side of romantic adventure.
They’re breaking down what works and what takes a little Hallmark magic. Jenny (Tori DeVitto) travels to Italy to honor a family wedding tradition while Arrigo (Will Kemp) searches for the same elusive wine in hopes of winning a writing contest. Along the way, they discuss why the rivals to romance dynamic never feels mean spirited, highlight their favorite scenes, admire the stunning cinematography and great soundtrack, and agree that Will Kemp’s accent deserves its own starring role. Plus, they give Giovanni the appreciation he deserves for bringing plenty of entertaining boss energy without ever becoming a one note villain.
Pour your favorite beverage, get cozy, and press play! Cheers!
