"Sideways" is one of those movies that has taken root in culture — eminently quotable, it boosted the wine industry in California almost as much as it did the careers of its stars and director, and did irreparable damage to the reputation of merlot. 20 years after its release, David Holmes went on a "Sideways" themed wine-tasting trip with Rex Pickett, the author whose novel was adapted into the screenplay, and wrote about it for Esquire.

“The owner of the Hitching Post restaurant got ahold of the whole script a couple weeks before we started,” Pickett told Holmes. “And he saw that it was R-rated and that the characters would be drinking, so he called an emergency session of the Santa Barbara Vintners’ Association and said ‘We have to shut this film down.’”

#Elephants eat by bringing their food to their #mouths using their trunks. But that only works #sideways. An evolutionary adaptation to the fact that the #trunk, as an extended nose and at the same time a highly innervated, precise #grippingorgan, is connected to further skull #modifications, even the arrangement of mouth #vibrissae. There are also left-wing and right-wing “drunkers,” as scientists have recently discovered.
