        I guess there’s both “blend” in the traditional sense of mixing varietals from grapes you grew or sources you trust to create more balanced or complex wine, and “blend” in the sense of chucking in whatever grapes you were able to source cheap, from any climate and terroir and growing technique.

          It’s just a party school anyways. /S

          But, fun fact, thanks to climate change down state Illinois can grow passable champagne style wine now.

    Is this like Trump Steaks? Or Trump Airlines? Or Trump University? Or a few Casinos? Same business plan and none of them really succeeded.

    4. Profit!

        I mean… The way it’s going, they’ll be able to sell it as the same without telling you. Like a server at olive garden “excuse me sir, would you like some cheese-like foodstuff made from tree pulp?”

          Not for nothing, but olive garden does use actual parm reg cheese. And it’s only the pre shredded bag cheese at stores that use cellulose to keep the shreds separated.

          But yeah, I wouldn’t trust anything with his name on it especially if meant to be injested.

    I’m surprised that he didn’t insist on having his detailed image, a silhouette of his profile, or at least his signature on the label.
