I'll Give You a Hawaiian Punch
Well, wine lovers, I am happy to report that a movie focused on vineyards and wine and all things good and grape has hit theaters as of November 10th. Why am I so happy? Because maybe, just maybe, people will for the love of god stop talking about Sideways. I have had it up to here with references to Miles and Merlot and Pinot Noir and expensive Bordeaux with fast food burgers. Enough already.

Hello Winemonkey,
ReplyDeleteWe saw the movie today and thought it was a good movie that wasn’t as centered around wine as Sideways. I'm sure it won't have the impact that Sideways had, but let’s see. To me it teetered around wine gently, and the main story line was decent and kept us interested.
Overall well worth the matinee admission we paid, but as always the popcorn and diet coke makes you feel like you've been robbed and kicked. For me this was no Sideways, just a nice story of maturity and realization with a dusting of wine notes.
Happy Sipping!

Did Vinogirl ever see the movie, and if so what did she think? I am also dying for something decent to come out to put Sideways behind us...
