Longing to get away? Travel to wine country with Pat and Marissa on this week’s episode of Movie Mixology! Join these amateur sommeliers as they drink Pinot (sans Merlot) and discuss "Sideways," a 2004 dramedy starring Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church. Share a glass with the hosts and uncork topics such as the pros and cons of unlikable protagonists and the slice-of-life nature of the 'dramedy' genre. Are the hosts’ opinions about the movie as full bodied as the wine? Listen on to find out!
They clink and drink.
JACK: “Man! That's tasty.”
MILES: “That’s 100% Pinot Noir. Single vineyard. They don't even make it anymore.”
JACK: “Pinot Noir?”
MILES: [Drinking and driving]: “Mm-hmm.”
JACK: “Then how come it's white?”
MILES: “Oh Jesus. Don't ask questions like that up in wine country. They'll think you're some kind of dumbshit.”
Pinot Noir recipe:
