    Thank you for the mention of all the films. All worth seeing, as you note. As a wine 'advisor' to the cast of "Sideways" prior to filming, and director of the Santa Barbara County Vintners Association, may I thank you for the link to Santa Ynez Valley, and add www.sbcountywines.com , which will give a complete guide to every winery featured in the film. While both my wife and I were in the film as extras, she made it to the screen. I made it to the cutting room. Thanks, again.

    Hey, great minds think alike, Benjamin. I'm working on a series on movies and coffee, a little different than yours, but still tying in to that LA theme. I liked "Sideways" and always rubberneck when we pass that restaurant (The Hitching Post?) on the way to Solvang.

    coming soon... "The Ways of Wine"
    with Charlie Arturaola, Michel Rolland, Andreas Larsson....

    "The ways of wine" tells the story, in a dramatic yet fun and comedic tone, of the return of Charlie Arturaola back to his essences; back to that day when he was 11 years old, and while hiding in a barrel of wine playing hide and seek, he first sensed that aroma that would strike him and determine his fate forever
