It would seem that half of the world wants to get into the hedge fund business
The other half wants to get in the wine biz
Porn star Savanna Samson’s wine was nice...and we are looking forward to trying Mike Ditka’s wines
2004 Mike Ditka Kick Ass Red
Produced by the Mendocino Wine Co. in California, this red had a plummy color and a briny aroma rife with notes of cherry and ripe berries. A fruity easy drinker, the wine still managed to pump some tannic muscle for structure. $50
Celebrity sells, whether it’s a new book, a line of percale sheets or a stack of non-stick skillets. Star power works with wine as well, as former Bears coach Mike Ditka is learning with his new line of wines. More than 800 people turned out at the Binny’s Beverage Depot in Highland Park recently to have their bottles signed by “Da Coach.”
“We had to cut off the line almost as soon as [Ditka] got there,” said Doug Jeffirs, Binny’s wine director. “And he came an hour early and stayed an hour late.” Chicago Tribune via 7 Cities Wine & Dine
