The Early Origins of the Writing of Sideways and My Love of Alisal Ranch


Alisal Ranch


Over 20 years ago, dead broke, divorced, and living in rent-controlled Santa Monica, CA I started making pilgrimages to the Santa Ynez Valley, two hours north of Los Angeles. Initially, I drove up, always mid-week, to play golf. By myself. It was affordable, the courses were beautiful and uncrowded. Soon, I started staying overnight so I could get in more rounds of golf until I discovered

Quotes by Rex Pickett  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You're such a cheater. The best wood in your golf bag is your pencil!”
Rex Pickett, Sideways

“Pinot Noir country. My grape. The one varietal that truly enchants me, both stills and steals my heart with its elusive loveliness and false promises of transcendence. I loved her, and I would continue to follow her siren call until my wallet--or liver, whichever came first--gave out.”
Rex Pickett, Sideways

“I can't kill myself, I thought. I'm too insignificant. I'm nothing. I'm a thumbprint on the first-floor window of a skyscraper, a smudge of excrement on a tissue surging out to sea along with millions of tons of raw sewage, a squirrel eating a nut as a car bore down on him.”
Rex Pickett, Sideways
