From the very first sip, dinner with this issue’s special guest, Ridley Scott, was another trademark Noble Rot interview that ran to more than several glasses and some unearthed little-known insights. Responsible for some of the greatest movies of all time – from Blade Runner and Thelma & Louise to Alien and Gladiator (the latter two of which we pay tribute to with this issue’s special dual covers by Gary Taxoli), Scott is also a wine lover who owns vineyards in Provence, and has a maverick perspective on everything from cooking the perfect scrambled eggs to how AI is changing the world.
