Dan Aykroyd’s Sonoma Project is on Page 81 of the May 31 edition of my Wine Spectator.
I’ve always loved Aykroyd…but not to the point that I can write his name easily. Only to the point that I know he’s not Bill Murray. He married the hot actress from Bosom Buddies while Bill Murray scored Scarlet J. in the movie Lost in Translation. Guys I could do tequila shooters with. In my wildest fantasy? Yea, maybe a Sangria. Oh…wait…that’s the other wine aficionado/actor/old hot Spanish dude.
Yes, that would be Antonio Banderas and he has a winery too.

Or, what I actually read, “was stung by the wine bug”.
I get it. Just like when Brad Pitt adopted New Orleans and his wife adopted a child from every country under the charm of UNICEF…having a celebrity champion a cause brings it to the forefront for the masses.
We’re the masses.
But, forgive me if I’m wrong here. I don’t need a celebrity to show interest in my cause. I’m just wondering if other Wine 101er’s do. Because it’s no longer just the Aykroyds and the Banderasses (pun intended).

The Ed Hardy brand, of amazingly colorful tattoo art fame, is now putting said art on wine bottles…at Whole Foods market. The LA Times says the wine “isn’t half bad”. Does that mean Wine Spectator would rate them at about a 50?
I think anyone with a wine interest, and a million-friggin’ dollars worth of money and taste, can hire a great winemaker. The winemaker can purchase the best grapes and be given all that he desires to make wine.
But Hardy? Known for tattoos, clothing and wine…gee…does that mean that I would want to get a tattoo of a wine bottle on my rump in exchange? That we are on the same page in relation to wine interests? Am I being a snob here?
Somethings are too bizarre.
aw..come on now Eve, a tattoo of a wine bottle on my rump would look good, your husband would love it. *smile*…
I guess the real question would be, what type of wine would have tattooed?
cheers!
Something full-bodied Susan!
But, I think I’d prefer Banderas on…never mind.
Donna Dixson…mee-oww! 🙂
It’s a short-drive to Shambala Preserve from YOUR house, Eve!…Antonio’s mother-in-law, Tippi Hedren (movie: The Birds)is the matriarch of that big-cat sanctuary, and if you show-up on the right day, you might meet Tony! 😉 Check-out: http://www.shambala.org
Chad, yep I know Tippi is close but BanderASS hasn’t come for a visit yet. If he had it would’ve been big news here! Even bigger than his interest in wine!
