wine made by stars or vips ?

Damn, should have been using thought-check rather then spell-check!

Jack Keller must be a VIP in the field to land on the cover if Jon Iverson's winemaking book. In other fields, I'm sure his family would consider him a VIP. I guess that would make all of us a VIP in one camp or another. :-)

VIP often does not translate into being a monetary giant.

Nick Faldo has just released his first vintage of Faldo surprisingly enough. Its not too bad really, Greg Norman has given his name to a range of wines from Hardy's (?) Sir Cliff Richard has a winery in Portugal, that supposedly is halfway decent Francis Ford Coppola has Niebaum-Coppola Randy Lewis (Indy 500 driver) owns Lewis Cellars, Napa

Emeril Lagasse has his own brand of wine out, though I have never seen it on the shelves, and he has shown the basics of home winemaking on his TV show.

A couple of year ago, if I remember well, In Italy we heard news about an estate bought by Italian President of the Council of Ministers Silvio Berlusconi in the brunello di Montalcino area. It should begin to produce in two or three years. Heard news that Michael Schumacher (F1 world champion) should have bought in Maremma (south of Tuscany). Movie artists and journalists famous in Italy produce their own wine.
