Sideways for Pinot Noir

Sunday February 6, 2005
Sideways has turned the Pinot Noir market upside down! With seven Golden Globe nominations, and two Golden Globe Awards in hand for best Best Motion Picture and Best Screenplay, this may be the wine movie of the decade. Up for five Oscar nominations, with the results playing out at the end of the month - Sideways has done more for Pinot Noir wines than any sustained marketing effort could realize in a very short amount of time. In fact, Pinot Noir sales are on the rise, in a big way, due in large part to sustained moviegoers’ enthusiasm for their new found wine. If you would like to take part in the Pinot Noir craze, but don't know where to start, try these recommendations priced under $10, they are a low-risk experiment with the vine's latest red wine! If you are willing to up the ante just a bit, then give these top recommendations a go, reasonably priced from $11-20.
