It was one line in the 2004 film Sideways, but years later it still reverberates.
The set-up: Thomas Haden Church's womanizing character Jack tries to get Paul Giamatti's wine snob character Miles to join him and drink a glass of Merlot. Miles' retort — "If anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving, I am NOT drinking any (expletive) Merlot!" — sent shock waves.
The film's impact on the California wine industry continues.
It was especially beneficial for Pinot Noir wines, which are
so highly praised in the movie. Meanwhile, the Miles line dealt Merlot an enormous blow.
Merlot is incredibly food-friendly and we think it deserves the chance to become a top wine-choice once again. Join us for a variety of Merlots, from different regions, paired with delicious bites, & re-discover this elegant, ruby beauty!
