Summary

This week friend, listener, Patron, and wine diva @wineshenanigans and the wine game show @winepardy Monica G. joins to talk with me about wines made by celebrities, aka Celebrity Wines. We run through what they are, how many of them are made and then we discuss specifics. We wrap with our analysis of whether or not we would recommend buying these wines.

We make two caveats:

1. These are our opinions about these wines – don’t sue me!

2. Some of these brands are impossible to obtain, so we haven’t had many of them – distribution is spotty

Then we define, explain, and then categorize these wines -- those that are legit and those that are not.

Some of the legit celeb wine brands we discuss are: Francis Ford Coppola, Fess Parker, Brad Pitt/Miraval, Dave Matthews with Blenheim and Dreaming Tree, Pink's Two Wolves, Drew Bledsoe's Doubleback wines, Kyle MacLachlan's Pursued by Bear wines, Kylie Minogue's wines, and Mary J. Blige's Sun Goddess wines.

A fun show! Don't forget to follow Monica on Instagram @wineshenanigans!
