"Not drinking fucking Merlot." My girlfriend's birthday gift (pics)
For my girlfriend's birthday, I decided to do something a little different. One of her favorite movies is "Sideways," so I decided to give her that experience. If you have never seen the movie, you are unlikely to get this.
Essentially, I drove her up PCH (both pugs in tow) to The Santa Ynez valley, scene of the movie. I chose a few spots that were famous locations from the movie and took her there. In most cases, I got things down to the exact tables and wine from the movie.
On an interesting note, Santa Ynez has long been considered one of the great wine country spots in the world, some believe better than Napa; however, it has taken the movie to really fuel the tourism aspect of it. Revenue has doubled for the town restaurants, hotels and merchants. You need reservations for practically everywhere.
Well, revenue has doubled all but for one winery, whereas they have lost a great portion of their business.
They grow Merlot.
Jack (to Miles outside Los Olivos Café before their dinner with Stephanie and Maya):
"And if they wanna drink merlot, we're drinkin' merlot."
Miles: "No. If anybody orders merlot, I'm leavin'. I am not drinkin' any fucking merlot!"
