People

Part of Sour Grapes Winery's original journalistic philosophy was that as a magazine, it would focus on normal people. That is to say, rather than interviewing celebrities or people who might be identified as the elite of society, SGW chooses to explore and discuss the ideas that everyday people have. SGW does not reject the ideas of the "elite," instead it believes that more than enough exposure is already given to these individuals, thus any further interviews of such individuals would be redundant and unnecessary from a journalistic standpoint.

SGW will seek to find individuals who have an interesting or unusual experience from which they have developed their opinions and ideas. While some of them may be somewhat unorthodox or deemed "fringe," SGW wants to create a soapbox for said individuals to contribute to the discussion. The opinions and comments of the interviews that can be read below cannot be assumed to represent those of SGW, its editor, or its columnists. Please enjoy!

It’s not until I get within sight of the Cellar nightclub on Smithe that I see a line up of others dressed in a multitude of costumes. I breathe a sigh of relief, and then feel a little ashamed that these hundreds of people in costumes better (and some far more revealing) than mine have no issue letting their inner geek out.
