Vino Veritas is a 2013 American independent dark comedy film directed by Sarah Knight and starring Carrie Preston.
Dressed in their finest costumes (witch, cowboy, doctor, and Queen Elizabeth I), the hostess brings out a bottle of blue wine she picked up in Peru.
Based on an old Inca recipe, the wine supposedly has truth-telling properties and is brewed from the skins of blue dart tree frogs.
Mark Adams of Screen Daily wrote, “A smartly and slickly made indie drama, cleverly adapted by playwright David MacGregor from his own production and blessed with four fine performances.
Director Sarah Knight keeps ‘Vino Veritas’ moving nicely, and makes good use of her interiors that help belie the film’s stagey origins.” [5] L. Kent Wolgamott of the Lincoln Journal Star penned, “‘Vino Veritas’ never feels ‘stagey.’ That’s a measure of the quality of MacGregor’s adaptation, Knight’s direction, John Beymer’s cinematography and the acting.” [6] Tom Long of Detroit News wrote, “It's highly entertaining if occasionally (and appropriately) cringe-inducing and offers some fine actors the opportunity to strut their stuff.
