Decided to see Sideways
It was great! It was as witty and inteligent as all the reviews said it was.
I also found it interesting that they showed the service sub-culture in the wine hospitality industry. A friend dated a wine pourer (I think thay are actually called Hospitality Associates) for a while and they always knew about all the best parties in the wine country. These were the parties all the working staff at the wineries went to. They all lived like paupers, but they always had a few bottles of really killer wine they were willing to crack open & share.
I guess this sub-culture develops at ski resorts, beach resorts and to some extent the restaurant industry. But in the wine country they always have access to all this low volume, limited release or no release wine.
I think I'll go to see "Engagement" tomorrow or maybe "Hotel Rwanda"
