Divorce, Catchy Pinot Words, and My Pussy

Interesting (and perhaps not so interesting) wine news.

A Billionaire Divorce –
And Not a Lawyer in Sight

Tim and Edra Blixseth spent 25 years building a $2 billion life together.

When they decided to divorce, they spent a single afternoon in the Beverly Hills Hotel, dividing it all up. With just two notebooks and a bottle of wine, the Blixseths — California real-estate tycoons and founders of the famed Yellowstone Club — finished the job in a matter of hours.

No attorneys. No accountants. No judges.

Truly, the power of wine is limitless.

The Prince of Pinot catalogues the The Top Catchy Pinot Words of 2006.

A quick sample:

  • Brand sluts: consumers who jump from one wine brand to another with no loyalty
  • Label kisser: devotee of a particular wine label regardless of the quality of the wine inside
  • Pinotporn: the winegrowing and winemaking process as a voyeuristic pleasure
  • The Prince gets even sexier from there.

    And I suppose I must point out that El Jefe is running his mouth, again, in a mis-titled post dubbed Josh’s Pussy. There are truth in labeling laws in place and I am currently exploring my legal options but one thing is clear: the only pussy El Jefe talks about are the dirty ones he’s randomly picked up off the streets of Calaveras county. Let me be clear, the post is not about my pussy, which is doing just fine, thank you for asking.

    Coming Tomorrow: our last tee shirt pic, along with a complete roundup of the lucky folks that made the free samples mailing list. See you then.
