This Academy Award® winning movie explores the small and large deceits that are part of most humanity. It begins when wine connoisseur Miles (Paul Giamatti) takes his old college roomate Jack (Thomas Haden Church) on a wine-tasting tour of the Santa Barbara wineries for a kind of extended bachelor party.
Jack's exuberance for life and his un-ending need to sow some wild oats before his wedding, lead them inevitably to intertwine with the two well-cast female roles -- an equally exuberant wine pourer (Sandra Oh) and a recently divorced waitress (Virginia Madsen).
Throughout the movie, look for local Santa Barbara locales, soon available for you to visit through our Sideways Wine Club Tours. And if you are at all hesitant about buying this DVD, you should know that Miles' soliloquy on Pinot Noir, and Maya's on why she loves wine, are must-haves for the library of every wine lover -- novice and collector alike! (To see a clip of Maya's treatise on why she loves wine, click here, then click the "Downloads" tab and select "Miles Needs a Shove")
With a real but gentle compassion, Sideways explores the failures, struggles, and lowered expectations of mid-life. From Alexander Payne, the director of Election and About Schmidt.
Own the movie that made pinot famous! Remember the line If anybody orders Merlot, I'm leaving!"? Well, Miles' ode to Pinot is one of the most beautifully written, directed, and acted scenes in wine cinematography!
