LEADING MEN,
I know who the top box office attractions and Oscar winners would be on today’s wine scene. Cabernet Sauvignon surely is Sean Connery. He is handsome, well-polished, world traveled and certainly long lived. Merlot would be George Clooney. He is subtle, blends in with all, versatile, soft-spoken and elegant. Pinot Noir is certainly the chameleon like Johnny Depp, ever-changing, never quite sure
which side of his personality will be revealed, but attractive to all who search for perfection. Zinfandel, the adopted American grape would be Tommy Lee Jones, able to easily portray a cowboy, a law enforcement officer or a five star general. They are all popular, easily recognized and enjoyed in all roles and guises.
