This is the third of short duration and quick to release News Flashes that we intend to share with you on the progress of various Sideways projects - the new book, the musical, the new movie, and all other Sideways related activities.
This News Flash is focused on recent news once again emphasising Sideways’ role in making Pinot Noir a famous grape around the world and the negative effect it had on Merlot sales too. This time the evidence comes from University of California Davis via a professor led research project and to that end, Rex is interviewed by NPR (the ‘BBC’ equivalent in the US). You can hear this interview by following the link https://www.npr.org/2022/02/16/1081276680/how-hollywood-changed-the-us-wine-industry. Enjoy
The Sideways wine collection (handpicked by Rex Pickett) is now on sale, so please head to https://www.blackmarket.co.nz/promo/sideways-wines-feature or www.158.co.nz and taste the movie!
