The follow-up novel to the blockbuster Sideways tracks the continuing story of Miles Raymond and his buddy Jack. It's seven years later. Miles has written a novel that has been made into a wildly successful movie, and the movie has changed his life. Jack, contrarily, is divorced, has a kid, and is on the skids. Phyllis, Miles's mom, has suffered a stroke that's left her wheelchair-bound and wasting away in assisted-living. She desperately wants to live with her sister in Wisconsin. When Miles gets invited to be master of ceremonies at a Pinot Noir festival in Oregon, he hatches a harebrained road trip. With Jack as his co-pilot, he leases a handicapped-equipped rampvan, hires a pot-smoking Filipina caretaker and, with his mother's rascally Yorkie in tow, they take off for Wisconsin via Oregon's fabled Willamette Valley, where Miles is Master of ceremonies of the International Pinot Festival. It is a road novel for the smart set and wine lover, and anything but predictable.
Editorial : Vertical -- Rex Pickett's long-anticipated sequel to his now iconic Sideways -- had me alternately laughing and crying through this hilarious, heartbreaking and ultimately moving meditation on Fame, Friendship and Family. Vertical managed to break my heart and then put it back together again, piece by piece and should abolish any lingering doubts whether the author just got "lucky" with Sideways. This is a work to be both admired and savored like the great Willamette Valley Pinots Miles exults over." --Marco Mannone, Forth Magazine
"Vertical" is an often over-the-top, sometimes poignant, always entertaining story peppered throughout with impenetrably obscure but colorfully descriptive and eminently accurate adjectives . What happens on the trip north through California accounts for much of the hilarious, ludicrous and outrageous actionRex Pickett has not let us down. --Kark Klooster, Oregon Wine Press

Perhaps he should write a separate book on subsidies and countervailing measures.
Also, I would have liked a more in-depth discussion of foreign AD/CVD laws. For some others you might have to search further. Not only learned a lot about the Trumans but also about the US in the 50s. It was soon followed by the F6F-3N, while it's younger brother, the F6F-5N would become the most produced model,1,434, it would also be the best suited single engined night fighting aircraft to operate from the decks of our aircraft carriers.
The first night fighting victory came at the hands of the Navy's VF(N)-75.This came about on 31 October 1943, with the Vought F4U-2 and it's pilot doing the duties. Hmm, guess they haven't read this book, wish they would.. Since the employees bear all the risk, I believe that they should take charge of their retirement investments, and this is what this book is about.
This book helps people take charge of their retirement plans by teaching th
