92% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, 1% Petit Verdot

In one of the most memorable lines from the 2004 cult wine movie "Sideways", wine geek and failing author Miles Raymond proclaims "I am not drinking f*****g Merlot!" At another point in the movie, Miles also dispararaged the Cabernet Franc grape, all the while professing his love of Pinot Noir. However, in an act of literary subterfuge, writer Rex Pickett made Miles' favorite wine a Chateau Cheval Blanc - a Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend. 

We used the same grapes for our own Subterfuge blend but we throw in just a dash of Malbec and Petit Verdot. We aren't sure if Miles would approve but since he stole cash from his sleeping mom to buy wine, we probably wouldn't worry too much about his opinion.

While we are talking Sideways trivia, we should also mention that Paul Giamatti, who played Miles in the movie, is rumored to be a member of the Yale secret society, Skull & Bones (also known as Order 322) which makes the real life Mr. Giamatti very much our kind of guy...
