Signed bottles: What do you have that's interesting?

WINE TALK

The Parker signed bottles made me think of signed bottles in general. Clearly lots of folks have bottles signed by winemakers. Not what I am asking after. Perhaps it will be mostly industry folk who have bottles signed for them by non-wine industry glitterati.

We don’t get tons of famous people up in our weird little, off-the-beaten-path winery so not tons of opportunities to get an autograph but I do have a magnum (of 2007 no less!) signed by Mark Grace (former Cubs and Diamondbacks first baseman for the non-baseball inclined). Used to have a bottle signed by Tom Leykis (radio personality) but I think that got consumed awhile back.

What do y’all have in your cellar?

Only one kinda interesting one, a 2009 Gaja Barbaresco signed by Gaia Gaja

Somewhere I still have the empty kicking around…a signed bottle of 1998 Trevor Jones Shiraz. He signed it with the date, 9/12/01. He was supposed to fly to SF that morning but ended up stuck in Boston for a while.

Does a 1980 Romanee St. Vivant signed by M. Leroy Bize and A. d. Villaine count?

Shouldn’t be too hard to get a former nationally syndicated radio personality (“Shadow Stevens”) to sign a bottle or two for you.

I have the huge bottle - I think it’s a six liter - signed by all the people at the Pratts dinner who made charitable contributions to Jordan Whitehead’s favorite charity, involving a young girl in his neighborhood who died. I get lots of bottles signed by wine personalities and I toss them when I drink them. The six liter and a bottle signed by Alois Kracher are the only ones I’ve kept.

We all know Leo has the most interesting signed bottles…

I have a couple bottles of Caduceus that I got signed by Maynard James Keenan.

The only autographs I have that mean a lot to me are a football autographed by Colt McCoy, a photo autographed by Vince Young, and a burnt orange cap autographed by Major Applewhite. Mostly the McCoy and Applewhite ones, because we got those in person; VY sent us the signed photo in the mail, and I’ve never gotten to meet him.

I have a few bottles of 2001 Neal Cab signed by Mark and Gove.

I have a bottle of Pegau Cuvee Laurence signed by Laurence.

I was going to do that, when I happened to look over at the framed wine labels on the Vinotemp door.

Some Grange signed by Max Schubert and John Duval

16

Does a bottle of '85 Pat Paulsen Vineyards cabernet signed by the man himself count?

I have a bottle of 2001 Opus One signed by both Mondavi and Rothschild! [dance-clap.gif]

What kind of citizen of China would you be if you didn’t have one [snort.gif]

I have an empty of 2002 Dom Perignon that was consumed in the locker room by the Washington Nationals last fall on the night they clinched their first Division title. I am going to try to get as many autographs on it as possible. Right now I have Gio Gonzalez and Ian Desmond.
