"This is our first wine dinner here in eight months," said the 33-year-old Boston native, and one-time manager at Brew Moon and the Mai Tai Bar. "We're going to execute and do it right."

The "Sideways" wine dinner is scheduled for this Wednesday, starting at 7 p.m. Cost is $75, which includes tax and tip.

The evening will start with a running loop of the scene from the movie in which the vineyard tour guide is describing the wines and telling the characters to swirl their glass and stick their noses deeper — and deeper — into the glass.

"It will set the mood for the dinner," Robinson said. "I think it will get people excited about tasting and learning something new about the evening's wines."

Featured vintages will come from Foxen Winery (including a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) and the Sauvignon Blanc from Fiddlehead Cellars, two of the "starring" vineyards in the movie.

"The movie definitely sparked interest in wines," said Mark Lloyd, representative for Chambers and Chambers, which is supplying the wines for this dinner. "It's great that people are now trying a glass of wine with their dinner rather than having their regular glass of iced tea."

The idea is for the wine to complement the flavor of the dish and vice versa, according to Robinson.

To that end, chef Aaron Fukuda will prepare such dishes as caramelized ahi sashimi with micro chiso, and butter-poached Kona cold lobster served atop a bed of stewed leeks and tarragon rice crispies.

"The first wine will be the Fiddlehead Cellars Sauvignon Blanc," Lloyd said. "It's the amuse bouche or the palate teaser."

Dinner will continue with a demi entree of pulled duck leg brioche "sandwich," followed by a braised thick cut short rib presented on a fluffy bed of wasabi potato puree and served with truffle-scented root vegetables.

For dessert, guests will be able to dip an array of fruits through the cascading chocolate fountain.
