While in a recon mission in a winery, Saunders, Caje, Littlejohn and Pvt. Garrett are trapped by a German squad inside the place. They are short of ammunition and wait for the right moment o flee. Out of the blue, they see the wounded Lt. Hanley held captive of the Germans and Sgt. Saunders decides to rescue Hanley. They plot a scheme with the owner of the winery and Caje poses of his crippled nephew to deceive the Germans. But the coward Garrett is wounded by the Germans and jeopardizes Saunders' plan. Will they succeed in rescuing Lt. Hanley?
"A Rare Vintage" is an episode of "Combat!" with excellent moments: the German officer Caje is one of the best scenes. Saunders jumping off the balcony is also great. The German soldiers pulling the truck is funny. But the conclusion is rushed and does not explain what would happen to the old Frenchman after helping Saunders and his squad. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Safra Rara" ("Rare Vintage")
