Nope, huge quotes from Mr. Fass about how crappy the Ace of Spades is and how big the margins are. A small quote from me about how if JZ had really wanted to get even he should have just BOUGHT Roederer outright and given it to Beyonce as a wedding present. LOTS of sleuthing around the paperwork to prove who owns what (I helped with that a little).

I’ve got a bottle of that stuff he left here in the cooler. It seems to glow in the dark a little…

‘Glowing’ won’t be your reaction to tasting it. [shock.gif]


So is the book calling out JZ for making a sham Champagne?
