Bono: wine geek
Bono, the rock star and activist, can add wine savvy to his file with the Nobel committee in Oslo. This according to “60 Minutes” producer John Hamiln who recently wrote about travling with Bono in the NYT:
If the private plane and police escort weren’t enough, U2 had an extra perk that officially puts it over the top in my book. It turns out that Bono; U2’s manager, Paul McGuinness; and their tour manager, Dennis Sheehan, are all oenophiles. On the [charter] plane home to Nice that night, the Bordeaux was outstanding — properly aged and poured at the perfect temperature by unfailingly polite British flight attendants.
How sweet it is! Apparently though for Hamlin, the experience made his commercial flight home and the $5 mini bottle of generic “red” particularly bittersweet.
Maybe we will see a not-so-generic red from Bono himself? His other “red” products for AIDS research already include a red Amex and a red iPod among other things…
