1. The only wines that can carry the name Bourdeaux are made in the Bourdeaux region of France. What is the term for a wine in the style of red Bourdeaux that's produced outside this region?

That'd be "meritage," which is also the name of a great restaurant at 20th and Lombard.

2. In the movie Sideways, Paul Giamatti's character, Miles Raymond, is an unpublished author. What is the name of his novel?

The Day After Yesterday.

Maya: What's the title?
Miles Raymond: The Day After Yesterday.
Maya: Oh ... you mean today?

3. In what year did Chester County's Chaddsford Winery debut its first wine?
