This wine has cleavage...really.

I saw a SF Chronicle article on it a few years ago. I think they had one wine, and the lady on the label had, er, more cleavage than the current crop does. But then again, the current models are breast cancer survivors. Pretty cool.

But, honestly, having lost friends and relatives to breast cancer, I hope they make a Double D cupful of money.

Anybody ever try one?

Seems rather counterproductive. Wasn't there a thread a few weeks earlier which suggested that red wine drinkers increase their chance of acquiring breast cancer?

i wonder if their secret white has a melon profile.

Red wine drinkers increase their chance of getting breast cancer? Who said that, a doctor? I guess this might be true if antioxidants are bad for you. As long as you limit it to a couple glasses per evening, I would suspect it would decrease breast cancer risk. Especially if compared to eating a big Mac every evening...

The research relating to wine and cancer was of questionable value according to a doc friend of mine. Sure, he's an eye surgeon, but that's good enough for me.

Well, may be I'm wrong, but I don't think the link between breast cancer and wine, or the lack thereof, has been established. So this campaign is almost along the same lines as:

Let's raise money for Anorexia by being vegetarians for a day, or;
Let's raise money to educate the illiterate by having a TV auction, or;
Let's raise money for domestic violence with a celebrity boxing match between Bill and Hillary Clinton, etc...

What kind of boob would invent such a ridiculous name for a wine?

It's good that you keep abreast of all the wine news, Miami.

At least you provided the most titillating subject line on the Conversations forum.

Okay.

I feel better now.

hmmmm...

It seems rather odd to me that for him to "celebrate" his wife, he has pictures of other women with large mammary glands on the bottles.

Sometimes it is comforting, or arousing, to think of other women than the one you are with.

I agree. But the one that he WAS with, is deceased.

Oops, that is what I get for only reading the last few post. Sorry for comment that is in bad taste, in that case.

No, I think the marketing of the wine is in questionable taste, not your post.

Shhhhh man, that's the holy grail of guy code. Don't break the code!

Did you see Laube's brief about the label? Kudos to him for his mention, and best of fortune to his friend.

The guy may have lost his wife and that is sad, but I find this a pathetic marketing ploy. It is as if he is trying to make money off of his wife's death.

I had heard that the profits are going to breast cancer research.

And from the article:

quote:

is donating 10 percent of the gross profits to fund research to find an end to the disease

So he is only keeping 90%. How distraught can he be?

This is in poor taste. I have no problem with the "cleavage" concept in and of itself. Yes, it's mildly tacky, but so what? But it strikes me as astonishingly insensitive to victims of breast cancer. "While we take moment to contribute to breast cancer research... TAKE A LOOK AT THESE HOOTERS!"

Agreed.
