The Story
Two stories unspool in Sideways Uncorked: the story behind Alexander Paynes modern movie classic adapted from a most unlikely sourcean unpublished novel by a burntout exfilmmaker and wine connoisseur Rex Pickettand the world of Pinot Noir (and Merlot) winemaking before and after Sideways was released. For as Kirk and Mira Advani Honeycutt show, the movie was a popculture phenomenon that dramatically impacted the wine industry. Sideways Uncorked offers a tour of the lush Santa Barbara wine country that forms the iconic backdrop to Sideways, tracing the effect the story eventually had there and elsewhere. With ample narrative and special features (such as a wine lineup of recommendations from various wine regions), this is a oneofakind book that will dazzle the palate of oenophiles and cinephiles alike.
