American Splendor

Watching this movie tonight because I liked Paul Giamatti, who also starred in Sideways. Sideways is a great movie, especially if you're into wine, but even if you're not.

We went up the gorge to Maryhill Winery over the Christmas break and were really impressed with the people and the wine. Bought some cabernet, syrah and zinfandel. The low-end zin ($18) is excellent for the price. It would be a great location in better weather for a day trip. The winery has a spectacular view of the Columbia River from the Washington side across from The Dalles. Nice grounds and space for a picnic. We're going to return later in the spring.

I'll try to make more entries and not just about wine.
