About the Authors
Youssef Mourra lives in New Zealand. He was born in Lebanon and migrated as a nine-month-old with his parents to Australia in 1967. Still in recovery from that upbringing, Youssef first discovered the world of Sideways after watching the movie in a cinema. The movie had a major impact on his drinking as he immediately switched to drinking Pinot Noir, forsaking cheap “Cab Savs” and other grape-flavored liquids. Fueled up with the passion for Sideways, he wrote a “fan boy” letter/email to the creator of Sideways, Rex Pickett, and the rest, as they say, is a mystery as to why Rex chose Youssef to become his partner in this amazing podcast project.
Rex Pickett is the critically acclaimed author of the novel Sideways, which was adapted into the iconic film of the same title. Sideways was nominated for five Academy Awards, winning for Best Adapted Screenplay, among 350 other plaudits. Pickett is the author of three Sideways sequels—the IPPY Gold Medal–winning Sideways Oregon (previously published as Vertical), Sideways Chile, and now Sideways New Zealand. He is also the author of The Archivist. Pickett is currently working on a post–Sideways New Zealand trilogy. A Southern California native, the Rex Pickett Papers are currently enshrined at Geisel Library on the campus of his alma mater, the University of California San Diego.
