The cast of Sideways have gathered together in honour of the 20th anniversary of their iconic movie about wine tasting. Virginia Madsen, Paul Giamatti, Sandra Oh and Thomas Haden Church attended a special screening of their 2004 film in Westwood, California on the weekend.

The four starred in the film about two friends who embark on a bachelor’s trip to Santa Ynez Valley for a wine-tasting tour and cross paths with two local women. Directed by Alexander Payne, the movie was based on the book by Rex Pickett and went on to win the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. It was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor for Church and Best Supporting Actress for Madsen.
