 Suckling, a friend of Maynard James Keenan of Tool, appeared in his 2010 film "Blood Into Wine", a documentary focusing on Keenan's efforts to make wine in Arizona.Upon tasting Keenan's wine, Suckling's reaction is enthusiastic "though not sycophantic".Suckling also featured in Jonathan Nossiter's 2004 film "Mondovino", by some accounts in an unflattering light, as he was shown near a Pinocchio sign and seeming to state he has awarded a wine 90 points because it was produced by his landlord, the winemaker Salvatore Ferragamo.
