The Pour: Best Supporting Grape

Ahh Sideways....such a beautiful film--a now, good old Santa Barbara, Carpenteria, etc all stand to benefit....

The New York Times > Dining & Wine > The Pour: Best Supporting Grape: "For Santa Barbara County, removed by hundreds of miles and thousands of exalting words from far more celebrated wine regions like the Napa Valley, the 'Sideways' effect has been profound. Unlike Napa, where multimillion-dollar wineries and top restaurants have helped generate a vast tourism industry, Santa Barbara County has been an overlooked and often ignored part of the California wine business. Now it is the wine region of the moment, with the film functioning as a feature-length product placement vehicle."

It really was quite a delightful little indie piece, full of beautiful scenery, the cycle of the wounded and healing human spirit, and tragic comedy...not to mention passion/geekdom.
