I like to think about the life of wine......

"I like to think about the life of wine -- how it's a living thing."

"I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing, how the sun was shining that summer.... I think about all those people who tended and picked the grapes... I love how wine continues to evolve, how every time I open a bottle it's going to taste different than if I had opened it on any other day. Because a bottle of wine is actually alive -- it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity.... And it tastes so f -- ing good."

The above is from a review for the film Sideways that has received rave reviews here in the USA. And its just reached town this weekend, so I'm going to grab a good bottle and head off with the wife to see it. Even though it is very much focused on wines from Santa Barbara, there is a lot more (as the quote above suggests) to the film. Hopefully it will find its way to Oz at some stage. If you want more than the trailer there are seven more clips here.
