That's nothing--- Marilyn Manson once bought Dita von Teese a distillery in Bryantsville, Kentucky Actor Johnny Depp
bought his girlfriend a vineyard in Plan de la Tour, near the French resort town of St. Tropez
The story that he raped a stable-girl in celebration was later dismissed as a mistranslation French actor and noteworthy pounder Gerard Depardieu
was named this year's "Pope" of Bordeaux's Chateau Pape Clement
But for only $149.- they'll give you the phone number of the police The extremely moneyed American wine collector Russell H. Frye (a business associate of fellow high-end collector Bill Koch, who was burned in the
Hardy Rodenstock phony 'Thomas Jefferson bottle' scandal) has started a website that holds out the promise of authenticating the lineage of those dubious bottles you and I sometimes purchase at auction.
Wineauthentication.com is not cheap---membership costs for serious users
run from $499.- to the thousands for commercial customers. And while
a business plan is being worked out, there is of yet no word on how the system will work, or who will attempt to do the on-line authenticating.
