Sideways and Me

Sideways is one of my favorite films, and this scene which i am writing about is a pivotal scene in the story. It is a revelation of loneliness and tragedy, but at the same time a start of a beautiful relationship between the characters involved. As i watch this film, i can't help but compare it to my life.
"Why are you so into Pinot? It's like a thing with you."
"I don't know. It's a hard grape to grow. As you know. It's thin-skinned, temperamental, ripens early. It's not a survivor like Cabernet that can grow anywhere and thrive even when neglected. Pinot needs constant care and attention and in fact can only grow in specific little tucked- away corners of the world. And only the most patient and nurturing growers can do it really, can tap into Pinot's most fragile, delicate qualities. Only when someone has taken the time to truly understand its potential can Pinot be coaxed into its fullest expression. And when that happens, its flavors are the most haunting and brilliant and subtle and thrilling and ancient on the planet."
- Miles and Maya, Sideways
These are lines from the academy award winning film Sideways. This scene, which by the way was well acted by both Virginia Madsen and Paul Giamatti, strengthened the relationship between Miles and Maya as they talked about wine, about the grape which the Pinot was made from. Miles talked about the complexities of the grape. But Miles in this line was referring to himself, a lonely man. Such a sad and heartbreaking statement.
Maya, because of this subtle revelation from Miles, falls in love with him. Maya touching Miles' hand though he backs away, is already a proof about the care that Maya has for Miles. Miles was a tough nut to crack as Maya continuously tries to reach out for Miles.
Maya's answer:
"No, but I do like to think about the life of wine, 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 that summer or if it rained... what the weather was like. I think about all those people who tended and picked the grapes, and if it's an old wine, how many of them must be dead by now. I love how wine continues to evolve, how every time I open a bottle it's going to taste different than if I had opened it on any other day. Because a bottle of wine is actually alive -- it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is, until it peaks -- like your '61 -- and begins its steady, inevitable decline. And it tastes so fucking good."
