The world wants a Sideways II.

Make it Gewurztraminer or Riesling this time.

Gewurztraminer would be perfect and I could envision a dump bucket scene with the Gevurtz!

There is a book sequel. It was just ok-

There was also a third book: Sideways Chile, which was mediocre, and I guess the author came out with Sideways 4, New Zealand. There was also a Japanese version made a while ago, but I didn’t watch it because it’s in Japanese. I don’t think anyone has an appetite for another wine fueled weakly raunchy middle aged bro dramedy.

This is why OR is thankfully still relatively flying under the radar.

Slight tangent.

I watched Old School (without commercials and unedited) for the first time in forever, and was like “why don’t they make movies like this anymore?” Same with Animal House.

Still plenty of super pricey wines there without the Hollywood glam :wink:

I’d love to know how Miles’ palate has evolved!

I do think he’d be an Oregon drinker.

I picture Miles as a sort of Lester Bangs of wine appreciation. I hope he was a successful writer. (Plus, I would watch Paul Giamatti the lyrics to ‘Pop Music’ by M.)

Do you remember Groove Tube and Kentucky Fried Movie?

I would have liked to see Dazed and Confused as an ongoing serial.

A while ago Grape Radio did an interview with the book’s author. He sounded pretty bitter about selling the rights for $5000.

Would be funnier if it was Merlot.
