For Miles -- who has divorced his wife, is facing an uncertain career, and has lost his passion for living -- the trip is an opportunity to evaluate his past, his future, and himself.Vertical: The follow-up novel to the blockbuster SidewaysIt's seven years later.

She desperately wants to live with her sister in Wisconsin.When Miles gets invited to be master of ceremonies at the International Pinot Festival in Oregon, he hatches a road trip. With Jack as his copilot, he leases a handicapped-equipped van, 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.Sideways: Chile: The third installment in the Sideways seriesSideways: Chile follows the further adventures of Miles Raymond.
