Presidential Vino
![]()
Life is good for the president-elect. I just got a press release from Kendall-Jackson Winery saying they are sending Barack Obama two cases of Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay.
OK, maybe you don’t think Kendall-Jackson is the hottest winery out there. But their reserves can be good. And even if they weren’t, when is the last time any winery sent you a couple of free cases?
Kendall-Jackson got the idea after a media story reported that Obama had a bottle of Kendall-Jackson sitting on the kitchen counter. So it’s pretty certain Obama will like the gift.
It got me thinking. If I were president and privy to all kinds of free wines, who would I want to send me some cases? Or if I didn’t get any freebies, what wines would I serve in the White House?
I’m still working on that list. When I figure it out, I’ll let you know.
In the meantime, I’m wondering if Obama will return the gift.
