Celebrity Wine Fever: “This is not no ghetto Boone’s Farm”
Celebrity owned wineries are not a new phenomenon. But these days it seems like there are so many that somebody needs to get a list with some videos so we can remember why they’re famous in the first place. Let’s ignore the obvious ones like Francis Ford Coppola and unnecessary biographical information.
The following is a list of celebrity winery owners and a video documenting their fame
Raymond Burr Vineyards
Of Perry Mason notoriety.
Remember this theme song?
Caduceus Cellars -
Owned by Tool front man Maynard James Keenan.
Go find and watch the music video for Sober.
Andretti Winery
Mario Andretti. Race car driver. Check out this spectacular crash.
Flying B Vineyards
Drew Bledsoe. OUCH.
Little Jonathan Winery
Rapper. “This is not no ghetto Boone’s Farm; this is some real wine,” the ever quotable Lil’ Jon said.
Fattoria Le Terrazze
Bob Dylan says “Businessmen they drink my wine, Plowmen dig my earth, But none of them along the line, Know what any of it is worth.”
Montagio Wine
Joe Montana. 49ers. Quarterback. I could give you an example of his greatness. Instead, here is an ad for Diet Pepsi.
Dan Akroyd Wines
Blues Brother. It’s 106 miles to Chicago, man.
Pursued by Bear
Kyle Mclaughlin of Twin Peaks, best show ever. Watch it.

So what’s your point? Takes money/marketing/passion/longevity/ego to make a good winery at national level.
Can’t do that working at a wine shop.
