First, there was “Sideways” the novel, and then the Academy Award-winning film about a guy who takes a friend on a California wine tour to show that pinot noir is better than merlot. Now it will be onstage presented by the Peccadillo Theater Company and Close Quarter Productions. Called “Sideways the Experience,” it was adapted by Rex Pickett, the author of the book, and for some ticket-holders, the performance will include a food and wine tasting (merlot included) by the caterer Mary Giuliani onstage before the show begins, as well as wines to sip during the performance.
“Sideways the Experience,” Thursdays through Sundays, Feb. 20 through April 12; $175 including preshow tasting and two glasses of wine during the show; $75 for the play and just the wine; $55 for the play only, Theater at St. Clement’s, 423 West 46th Street, OvationTix, 866-811-4111, sidewaystheexperience.com..
