[Reign of Terroir] Jonathan Nossiter pt 2, On Wine's New Global Dialogue:  It goes back and forth between little Camillo Donati and his Colli di Parma, to Domaine de Beudon in the Valais in Switzerland to the hugely talented newcomer Bruno Duchêne in Collioure with his daring Grenache whites, to Dominique Lafon in Meursault, to Nicolas Joly in Savennieres, to people of all different levels, of socio-economic levels, prestige levels… They are creating a global dialogue, producing concrete results and concrete effects.  It’s not just a nice global dialogue about how to deal ethically with the planet.  People are really, actually, doing something concrete.  And I feel tremendously encouraged and moved.

[The Underground Wine Letter] Movies and Wine and Drink: (2004)  A truly wine centric movie, while the other movies feature wine, Sideways (adapted from Rex Pickett’s 2004 novel) is about wine.  Two buddies go on a week-long road trip/bachelor party before Jack (Thomas Haden Church) gets married.  Miles (Paul Giamatti)  is a wine writer who loves wine, but Jack is into sex and partying.  The movie has good wine quotes and gorgeous scenes of the Santa Ynez Valley.  It is shot at the Hitching Post Restaurant, Sanford, the town of Solvang, Foxen, Kalyra, Fess Parker (where Miles drinks from the wine spit bucket), A. Spurs Restaurant and Firestone.  The wines drunk include a 1992 sparkler from Byron, Fiddlehead Sauvignon Blanc, Hitching Post Highliner, Whitcraft Pinot Noir, Sea Smoke Pinot Noir, Kistler Chardonnay and Andrew Murray Syrah.  Miles disparages Merlot and Cabernet Franc, preferring Pinot Noir.  However, his dream wine is Cheval Blanc, which, strangely enough, is a blend (generally 60/40) of those two grapes.  At the end, he is drinking  1961 Cheval Blanc from a foam cup at a local fast-food restaurant.    Maya (Virginia Madsen), the waitress in Alexander Payne’s cult classic, talks about the wine she and Miles are drinking and the people who helped make it, wine as a piece of living history, wine’s connections to other facets of life, and the fact that wine is meant to be shared with friends.
