Speaking of wine, I just got an email from a publicist about a new movie SIDEWAYS – “Writer-director Alexander Payne�s fourth feature film starts with two old friends setting off on a wine-tasting road trip�only to veer dizzily into a wry exploration of the vicissitudes of love and friendship, the damnable persistence of loneliness and dreams and the enduring war between Pinot and Cabernet. SIDEWAYS is �a bit of a love letter to the wine country,� says director Payne.”
The official SIDEWAYS movie site has a cute little wine tasting 101 guide and a handy, printable, snob-free guide to wine.
