What in the world are these golfer's doing pimping wine is my question? I mean I'll give 'em some cred on something that has dimples on it . . . maybe even a pair of slacks. But wine??? I take my old lady out for dinner after playing golf and being gone for 5 or 6 hours . . . "Yo girl . . . you gotta snort up some of this Luke Donald or John Daly wine." Sure fire way NOT to get hooked up on the golf course or anywhere.
And Goosen's wine . . . . what kind of personality are you gonna have after drinking that one?

Wine . . . please.
"Opus 1" (Napa Valley) is owned by a Dentist. $300.00 bucks a bottle. Way overated. I told the Winery Manager that they should change the name to "Pompus 1".
I have to admit, I've tried many of the wines (owned in part) by some of the Pro's. They're pretty good actually. I was surprised. The Greg Norman Cab is worth repeating and I've had bottles that I thought were among the best in class.

He'd better sell a bunch of it with that D-I-V-O-R-C-E deal . . .
Is Boone's Farm Wild Island up there on your list?
You ain't heard about that? He's been helping Chris Everett with her backhand. He was supposedly best friends with her hubby . . . probably not no more. They're supposed to get hitched pretty soon.
The guys from South Africa may have connections with great
wine produces. There are some excellent wines in So. Africa.
For me, Coonawara is best that Australia offers.
To bad that Greg Norman has started to market lower
quality wines from the U.S.A. Same for Arnold Palmer.
Would Tiger Woods put his name on something that did
not appear to have real class?

Mike Weir may have a hit with his icewines?
You fail to understand the concept of marketing. Lower not low quality wines are made to increase sales to a wider audience not interested in spending 40+ dollars on a bottle of wine. I drink lower quality French reds from George Duboeuf that are outstanding at less then 12 dollars a bottle. I would never have bought a more expensive bottle- if they do. Too many vinyards are exclusionary. Wine for the people. I have had some of the Els and Frost red wines both okay- nothing to get excited about. Frost has better wines right now because his vineyards are maturing as are his barrels. Els will in time. Both a committed to the product.
As celebrity wines go- Francis Ford Coppola has made some nice over priced wines. I haven't seen a Jerry Garcia bottle of wine in a while- very mellow with good legs and a repeatable buzz.
