Sideways - the Academy Award® winning movie - explores the small and large deceits found within our common 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 an 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 now-famous Santa Barbara locales. 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.

With a real but gentle compassion, Sideways explores the failures, and struggles of mid-life. From Alexander Payne, the director of Election and About Schmidt.
