WINGING IT SIDEWAYS
Having grown up in a household that watched "Wings" during its prime-time run, I was skeptical of being able to visualize Thomas Haden Church as anyone other than Lowell, the slow-witted airplane mechanic. But feeling it my profesional obligation to see a movie about wine-tasting, I spent 15 seconds coaxing Joan into taking in a matinee.
It's no surprise that an odyssey of two men on a week-long tour of wineries would be an offbeat story. I don't want to give too much away to people who haven't seen it but this film covers an impressive roller coaster ride of emotions.
Santa Barbara County has used the movie to promote the real-life vineyards shown in it as a tourist attraction.
