Dan Aykroyd makes wine and wants you to taste it. With Him!



Hi my friends, 

It's been a long time since my last post, but harvest has been keeping me very busy! That said today I'm back with a good one and an invite to a local event at Whole Foods at Third and Fairfax. I sadly can't be there because we are pressing pinot on Friday and I have to drive up Thursday night, but I would love to do this! 

I did a commercial for Comcast back in the days when I was still young, and by that I mean I think I was 31, so what was that. 4 years ago? Anyhoo, John Landis directed it and it starred Dan Aykroyd. We didn't have much contact off set, but it was a thrill to work opposite him for the hour or so that we shot that part of the scene. I mean, he is a legend. And I'm like a legend that never got anywhere. So we have the legend part in common. 

Now Dan is making wine, and so am I. So that's more we have in common! I'm in full support. I haven't tasted the wines yet, but I hope some of you can go to the tasting and let me know what you think. Needless to say I have far more faith in this project than that terrible Ed Hardy project.

What I love is that he is out selling it. He has to pimp his goods just like the rest of us do. That means he has some long-term investment in the project. And I dig that. This is no different than me and Peter pouring at Rosso, El Vino, Domaine LA, Silverlake Wine or Colorado Wine Co. You gotta be present.

Below is the invite and also a little more about the wine. 

 

We would love to have you and your readers join us this Thursday, October 8th, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM at the Whole Foods Market at 3rd and Fairfax (6350 W. 3rd Street, 90036), for an intimate gathering while Dan signs bottles of his new Discovery Series California wines.

 

About Discovery Series California

Dan Aykroyd first developed his love of wine while working on Saturday Night Live and The Blues Brothers, when musician Steve Cropper introduced Dan to Premier Cru Bordeaux and other world-class wines. Since that time, Dan has immersed himself in the wine world, launching his own brand in Canada in 2007 to rave reviews by wine critics, media and wine lovers alike. In 2008 Dan teamed with the winemakers at DeLoach Vineyards in California's Sonoma County to create a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Chardonnay in a style that reflects his passion for entertaining family, friends, and fans.
