You may (or may not) remember that I blogged about Dan Aykroyd and his new wine venture already.

Maybe this is old news now, but I found another article about this and loved some of hilarious comments about wine tasting. It's very refreshing to see winemakers not take themselves so seriously. Get over yourselves already!

This is from Dan Aykroyd joins wine rush with Ottawa vintage:

Aykroyd joins a growing list of celebrities using their name as a marketing tool to sell wine. Asked how he defined a good wine, he said: "Anything with a 'saint' in it, I found, was good, like Saint-Emilion, and anything with an 'x' like Margaux. Anything with an 'x' or a 'saint' is going to have a nice bold, mixed flavour."

Not to be out done, his pal slash novelist Jay McInery will be assiting him with test tasting the final products:

McInerney, best known for his novel Bright Lights, Big City, has developed a strong line in wine writing and blogs on wine for House and Garden magazine.

His wine essays have been drawn together this autumn in his latest book, A Hedonist in the Cellar. It contains vintage McInerney phrases such as his descriptions of a Californian chardonnay - "like a Ginsu blade concealed in a peach".
