The Sideways Vintage: Rare Pinot Noir Tasting with Rex Pickett

Join us for a one-of-a-kind tasting experience and author talk with Sideways novelist Rex Pickett, whose bestselling book and its Oscar-winning film adaptation forever changed the worlds perception of Pinot Noir.
Guests will enjoy a rare tasting of the 2005 Schug Pinot Noir, the very vintage released when Sideways premiered and a milestone 25th vintage for Schug Winery. Additional pours from the Schug library, all dating back to the Sideways era, will be available exclusively for this event.
As you sip these historic wines, hear behind-the-scenes stories from Pickett about the books journey from page to screen. Axel Schug will also reflect on the winerys history during that time and the lasting impact the film had on both Schug and the greater Pinot Noir landscape.
Space is limited. Reservations recommended.
