I was too young to buy my own wine in 2004... I haven't even SEEN Sideways yet (it is next on my Netflix cue)! That being said, I am happy at YOU, Gary V, for putting me on to pinot noir! It is strange that the Yarra Yering was packaged in that bottle... I wonder how much impact the bottle actually has on the wine.....? QOTD – NEITHER!

I wasn't a big pinot drinker until Sideways, preferring cabernet sauvignon. Now I have tried more pinot and have realized I was missing lot. I still am not a huge fan of merlot, in general, and that made the parts dissing merlot funnier. On the other hand, pinot prices are starting to get a bit ridiculous. There are some small-production pinots I've had recently that are charging $40/bottle that are worth maybe $10. "Buy with care" seems to apply particularly to pinot noir. However that may be, Sideways was good for the wine industry overall. QOTD: Can I say both? I wasn’t a big pinot drinker until Sideways, preferring cabernet sauvignon.

Pinot Noir wasn't my favorite type of wine, but the movie got me to try more of them, and enjoy them very much. I was never a big Merlot fan, but that hasn't stopped me from drinking them and finding some I like. Unfortunately, the Cali Pinots began to saturate the market and people trying them for the first time, thought they should be a big, sweet wine that contained a hefty amount of Syrah. I don't remember the year Sideways came out, but admittedly, I boycotted French wines for a long time because they didn't join us in the War. If you look at my wine-buying receipts, you will notice I've gotten over that a long long time ago. Viva La France.... QOTD: Absolutely loved Sideways.
