What a Fine Wine

Sideways is a movie about a bachelor-party trip undertaken by a soon-to-be groom and his buddy. The trip brought us face to face to the myriad of human emotions: happiness, depression, courtship, cheating, lovestruck, disappointment and risk taking. Throughout the movie, we sampled some of the finer Pinot Noir varietals that Northern California has to offer.

The film rekindled my love for Pinot Noir. And tonight I remember this mighty fine Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley: Kenwood 2001 Reserve. I remember that night when we partake of its strong and intense flavor. I miss that flavor...
