Friend of friend wants to land his helicopter at Screaming Eagle

[P_ONeill]

Doesn’t he know that Screaming Eagle is passé and the thing now is paying $50k for bottles of Rose, helicopter not included?

I rarely post here, but this was too much to resist. I don’t know if this is real or BS, but Screaming Eagle is owned by this guy - Stanley Kroenke

Stan Kroenke - owner of the Denver Nuggets, St. Louis Rams, Colorado Avalanche and Arsenal - is worth $5.8 billion. I don’t imagine he suffers fools and won’t be impressed with your friend’s money.

Also, he is married to this lady - Ann Walton Kroenke

She is a Walton heir and worth $4.9 billion on her own.

So between them, they don’t need your friend and his douchebaggery.

Holy Shit!

I don’t know Mr. Ente and to be honest I haven’t followed his posts on this board. But here in the south, we were raised to understand that it’s both impolite and inappropriate to ridicule someone for asking a question, regardless of what one thinks of its validity.

At least until they leave the room

…just brought to mind Gatsby.

What came to my mind was the movie “The Sting”.

Does no one remember when Phil commented that certain people don’t deserve to go to certain French restaurants cause the restaurants are too high class for them?

Yep.

This was probably meant for me…so I cancelled my reservations and ended up at Sizzler…to my surprise they have a burgundy mushroom sirloin that is to die for!

Isn’t that the recipe with three bottles of Chambertin - one in the dish and two on the table?

I don’t understand some of the comments. Clearly, he is a serious wine collector who can afford the best, and simply wants to ensure perfect provenance as well as chain of custody. My guess he has installed a temperature controlled cellar on his helicopter just for this occurence.

More often than not the response to a question will be “why bless your heart.” That’s southern for FU.

All I know is that Ann Walton is scary looking

Why doesn’t your friend with the helicopter man up and invite his other friends with helicopters and go in like this? How can Screaming Eagle refuse?

Awesome.

i find it hard to believe a multi-billionaire doesn’t have a lackey who can’t get this done with a single phone call or email.

No doubt! If he’s truly a fellow who wants to land his HELICOPTER on a vineyard, departing this flight from his YACHT, he should be able to make one call and it would be done, if it could be done. Wouldn’t Amex Black - obviously he’s got that - be able to arrange it on his behalf?

Nonetheless, it truly is among the most douchey things I have EVER read about, ever. Ever.

We Berserkers know a guy who might get away with it, but that’s because of the helicopter he flies…

How you gonna stop him?

Me, I’d personally go with Airwolf.

Cue the Wagner!

[Anton_D]

A helicopter is so déclassé.

Here’s how I did it…

Really? Every Southerner that I know would see through this b.s. question immediately and politely tell Mr. Ente to move along.

I know few southerners who suffer fools quietly.

I guess I just don’t understand the indignation and rage about asking the question. In fact, when I first saw the title of the thread, I thought our old friend Miran Kegl had returned!
