Skywalker Ranch Wines

Gates82 writes "The creative force of George Lucas is at it again. Producing his own wine. "I would love to see them plant another 5 to 10 acres. There must be spots on that ranch to make some really interesting wines."" Wonder if there's any spots on that ranch left that can make a good Star Wars movie?

Just one bottle

You realize that every fan and non-fan in the world just *has* to buy at least one bottle of this.

What are the margins on wine these days?

I've never been able to aquire a taste for wine except those sweet white wines. How does one go about and aquire a taste for it without going to tasting parties?

FWIW, you don't need to acquire a taste for wine. The rewards are not commensurate with the effort required. If you like a certain type of alcoholic beverage, drink it and enjoy. Experiment and try new things, but why bother trying to develop a taste for something? It takes a lot of effort to develop a taste for wine, and the only result is that you still get drunk, but you can act snooty while you do it. I had several friends who worked at a winery who forced me to develop a taste for wine, but I still prefer a Guinness. And once you start drinking wine strictly for the sake of drinking wine, there will always be someone else there who has some opinion about the wine you like, and why it's not as good as another wine.
I encourage you to try wine, but if you don't enjoy it, and have to work to develop a taste for it, it's not worth the effort. Stick with the Guinness.

I now relinquish the soapbox.
