Yesterday I wasn't sure I would see Sideways.
Today, having seen that mere mention of the movie results in everyone's inner wine snob coming out to play, and to express their personal tastes as if they were gospel-given facts, and to tell us how no Chateauneuf-du-Pap can possibly be as good as the bottel of Chateauneuf-du-Pap that they sipped in the Loire Valley at sunset while sitting next to the Pap himself....
Well, let's just say that this movie won't make my Netflix list.
