"Sideways 3 Chile" finds our main protagonist Miles Raymond (Paul Giamatti in the original film) running out of money, but still surviving on the fumes of a past, but fleeting, fame. When he is offered an opportunity by a reputable magazine to write an article about the diverse wine regions of the country of Chile he jumps at the chance. At the end of "Vertical," Miles had fallen in love with a Spanish girl, Laura, and he asks her to fly from Spain to accompany him. Miles, in full panic anxiety mode, which is endemic to his character, flies to Chile to meet Laura and discover this beautiful and vast country. Complications, heartbreak, and romance ensue. In the great and desolate Atacama Desert in the north of Chile Miles comes face to face with himself.

  • Alexander Payne Regis Dialogue Formatted
    Alexander Payne Dialogue with Kenneth Turan, 2005 Kenneth Turan: We're at the Walker Art Center for a Regis Dialogue with filmmaker Alexander Payne. We're going to be discussing his artistic vision, his sense of humor, and his love of film. Alexander Payne's films are characterized by his ability to bring emotional reality to drop dead funny character comedies managed to be achingly true to life while dealing with seriously out of control situations. Even the setting of most of them paints quintessentially all-American hometown of Omaha, Nebraska emphasizes the notion that these people could well be anyone's friends and neighbors. Maybe even yours. Kenneth Turan: I'm Kenneth Turan, film critic for the Los Angeles Times and National Public Radio. I'll be your host as we discuss Payne's work. Now, the Regis Dialogue with Alexander Payne is about to begin. Kenneth Turan: Well, I wanted to start at the beginning. I wanted to start with Omaha. You are famously born in Omaha. I had kind of a two-part question about that. I wonder, first of all, do you think people make too much of that? There's always every article that is written, it says, Omaha, films in Omaha. Do people make too much of it? On the flip side, what do you get from it? What do you think being born there, coming from there, has kind of done to the way you look at the world? Alexander Payne: It's so funny because you're commenting on the question and making too much of it at the same time.

Judgment of Paris: California vs. France and the Historic 1976 Paris Tasting That Revolutionized Wine Orley Ashenfelter Alexander Payne (Director). Sideways Screenplay by Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor. Robert Stavins Based on the novel by Rex Picket GEORGE M. TABER: Judgment of Paris: California vs. France and the Historic 1976 Paris Tasting That Revolutionized Wine. Scribner, 2005, 288 pp., ISBN 0-7432-4751-5, $26.00 George Taber has written much more than a book about a wine tasting. Sure, the Judgment of Paris must be the most famous organized wine tasting of all time. And sure, California cabernet and chardonnay wines topped fine French products on French soil with French judges at a time when such an outcome (1976) was considered impossible by everyone- not just the French! But Taber's book is more than the story of a wine tasting. In the same way that Sea Bis- cuit is more than a story about a horse race and The Jackie Robinson Story is more than a story about baseball, Judgment of Paris is the story of the development of the California wine industry and of the personalities who made it happen. If ever a story about wine could rise above the ubiquitous "cooking, wine, and spirits" category and find a wider public, this is it. As the only journalist present for this historic event, Taber, a long time business reporter who was then at Time magazine, is uniquely situated to set the record straight.
