    Sideways??

    Sheri_P, Aug 2026
    Well you’re in wine country so that’s a real plus. But this should not have been called Sideways the wine tour, should’ve been called a the great wine trail with a few spots from Sideways the movie. Had rewatched the movie recently and they could’ve put additional places on the tour. We love wine but we are big fans of the movie and thought this tour should be called something else.
