Comments on: Sideways, the movie, the wine http://www.drvino.com/2004/11/23/sideways-the-movie-the-wine/ wine talk that goes down easy Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:55:49 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Dude http://www.drvino.com/2004/11/23/sideways-the-movie-the-wine/#comment-266642 Dude Thu, 13 Aug 2009 02:59:51 +0000 http://70.103.16.189/~drvinoco/wordpress/2004/11/sideways-the-movie-the-wine/#comment-266642 "One specific item wine buffs may want to trot out when seeing or talking about the film is the fact that at one point, Miles disparages Cabernet Franc for making insipid wines. But it later emerges that the gem of his humble collection is a 1961 Cheval Blanc. How ironic, given that Cabernet Franc makes up two-thirds of the wine. And the other third? Merlot. Maybe the wine consultant to the film missed that. Or perhaps the writer left it in for connoisseurs to speculate that French provenance of wine makes it appealing." That's a metaphor. You know what I mean? They did that on purpose. “One specific item wine buffs may want to trot out when seeing or talking about the film is the fact that at one point, Miles disparages Cabernet Franc for making insipid wines.

I believe it was a red 2001 special reserve of some sort. I am looking for the name of the Frei brothers wine featured in the movie Sideways.
