That doesn’t mean that wines have to do this: Or this: And for god’s sake not this: We’ve already talked about how wineries seem to be getting it wrong when trying to market to younger people, so … Continue reading
Add yet another celebrity who’s entering the wine biz. Fergie just announced that she’s coming out with Ferguson Crest wine, probably sometime this summer.
