TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Paul Giamatti admitted to faking every bit of wine knowledge, and not understanding why anybody would care about it. He also claims he was shocked that he was cast in a lead role and initially thought it was a practical joke.

During his audition, Thomas Haden Church stripped naked because that was what the scene called for. He later learned that he was the only actor to do that.

The food that Miles, Jack, and Miles' mother consume during the dinner at Miles' mother's house gave the three actors food poisoning.

During an emotional scene in the film, Miles talks with great passion about Pinot Noir. After the release of this movie, sales of Pinot Noir wines rose by more than 20 percent over the 2004-05 Christmas/New Year period, compared to the same period the previous year. A similar phenomenon was experienced in British wine outlets. Miles is deeply disparaging, in a different scene, about Merlot, and sales dropped after the film came out. Ironically, Miles's prized bottle of wine, a 1961 Château Cheval Blanc, is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, another grape Miles disparaged.

An entire street was blocked off by the police for the filming of the scene in which M.C. Gainey runs naked down the street. Moreover, the people who lived in houses on said street were paid by the crew to stay inside their homes during the shooting of this particular scene.

Popular Dialogues

"Jack: If they want to drink Merlot, we're drinking Merlot. Miles Raymond: No, if anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any fucking Merlot!"

"Miles Raymond: What about you? Maya: What about me? Miles Raymond: I don't know. Why are you into wine? Maya: Oh I... I think I... I originally got in to wine through my ex-husband. Miles Raymond: Ah. Maya: You know, he had this big, sort of show-off cellar, you know. Miles Raymond: Right. Maya: But then I discovered that I had a really sharp palate. Miles Raymond: Uh-huh. Maya: And the more I drank, the more I liked what it made me think about. Miles Raymond: Like what? Maya: Like what a fraud he was. [Miles laughs softly] Maya: No, I- I like to think about the life of wine. Miles Raymond: Yeah. Maya: How it's a living thing. I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing; how the sun was shining; if it rained. I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it's an old wine, how many of them must be dead by now. I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today it would taste different than if I'd opened it on any other day, because a bottle of wine is actually alive. And it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is, until it peaks, like your '61. And then it begins its steady, inevitable decline. Miles Raymond: Hmm. Maya: And it tastes so fucking good."
