Sideways Uncorked: Meet the Authors!

Meet Mira and Kirk Honeycutt, authors of Sideways Uncorked!

They will sign books and regale us with stories of the making of the pop culture phenomenon that dramatically impacted the wine world!

Two stories unspool in Sideways Uncorked: the story behind Alexander Payne’s modern movie classic adapted from a most unlikely source—an unpublished novel by a burnt-out ex-filmmaker and wine connoisseur Rex Pickett—and the world of Pinot Noir (and Merlot) winemaking before and after Sideways was released. For as Kirk and Mira Advani Honeycutt show, the movie was a pop culture phenomenon that dramatically impacted the wine industry. Sideways Uncorked offers a tour of the lush Santa Barbara wine country that forms the iconic backdrop to Sideways, tracing the effect the story eventually had there and elsewhere. With ample narrative and special features (such as a curated list of wine recommendations from various wine regions), this is a one-of-a-kind book with behind-the scenes photos that will dazzle the palate of oenophiles and cinephiles alike.
