Men, this is not a joke study this chart well and learn it. It could save your life one day.

What do Warlock Charlie Sheen, and Wine Have in Common?

Malibu, California

I know you’re waiting for some great punch line, aren’t you? I’ll leave that to the Warlock himself. He’s much better at them. The thing that Charlie Sheen and wine have in common is Emilio Estevez, of course!

It seems that more and more celebrities are getting into making their own wine and Emilio Estevez is the latest one that I’ve heard about. Apparently one day he decided that he wanted to grow more grapes and started tearing up his front and back lawn (much to the astonishment of his neighbors…or otherwise known as his dad, Martin Sheen, who lives down the block) in order to plant more vines. True story!

Although everyone thought he was weird for doing that it is starting to pay off for him and his wife. They now bottle the wine (made with the grapes from his yard in Malibu, CA and others that he has growing on other properties) under the name Casa Dumetz and apparently he’s getting pretty good at it too. The wine sells in the range of $30 to $40 dollars and the only indication that he’s the owner of the winery is the name Don Emilio that appears on the bottle.

Just to be clear though there’s no indication that Emilio or the wine is made with the same Adonus DNA or Tiger Blood as the Warlock. Just figured I would put that out there. 🙂

If any of you have tried this Casa Dumetz I would love to hear your review of it and also where you got it. It’s currently a short production wine (only a few hundred cases a year made and I think it’s only sold locally as well).

For more information on Casa Dumetz you can got to the wine’s website: http://www.casadumetzwines.com/Home.html

Drink Wine and Help Christchurch, New Zealand!

If you’re the type who wants to help those in need (and let’s face it who isn’t really?) Here’s a great way to help the people of Christchurch, New Zealand rebuild after the recent 6.3 earthquake that hit on February 22nd. This is the second (and worst) earthquake Christchurch has had in the last five months. The first one in September of 2010 didn’t take any lives. Unfortunately this recent one did. It is estimated that between 25-35% of the buildings and homes in Christchurch will have to be demolished because they are beyond damaged.

So what does this have to do with wine you ask? Well a lot! If you want to treat yourself to some wine AND help the people of Christchurch then go to Ecolove Wines and you can take part in the ‘6 Bottles for Christchurch’ program where you purchase 6 bottles of wine and 100% of the proceeds go to help Christchurch recover. Not a bad deal I say. You get to enjoy some wine and Christchurch gets the help they need. That makes me smile. How about you?
