The business model does make sense and I'm sure it's worth it unless you're the kind of wine snob who doesn't want to get caught buying Costco wine. It's better than buying a jug of Inglenook from Walgreen's.

Is it, though?

By a nose. "

Costco isn't private labeling overstocks. They are commissioning distillers to make a product for them and labeling it as such..

What is the difference? I ask that with a straight face as I really do not know. It is my understanding it is the same product. If so, they only difference would seem to be an intent to overproduce versus it occurring by accident.

Does anyone else think Danny's wine commercial is a scam? It all sounds ridiculous. Then him saying he got this sweet deal just for the listeners is some great WYC material. He could give a shit about the listeners.

His street isnt that cool.....and nothing to really walk to from his place.

What street exactly? Not in a stalker way, but in a curious way. I ask because I grew up in the area (on Patterson) and also went to Gordon Tech too.

Seems like lots of stuff is walking distance.

GORDON BOYS ARE RUFF AND TUFF
THEY KNOW HOW TO KNIT AND STUFF
KNIT ONE PURL TWO
GORDON BOYS FUCK YOU!

Please tell me you are still in high school.

High school was almost 30 years ago for me. Whatever impressions people do or don't have about any high school are completely irrelevant to me.

WHY DO YOU KEEP BRINGING IT UP THEN? I EXPECT THE POMPOUS DIPSHITS FROM ST. IGNATIUS AND FENWICK TO CONSTANTLY MENTION THEIR SCHOOLS BUT YOU GRADUATED AS A PLUMBER'S HELPER.

Whiskey, wine, Scotch, barrel aged beer, cigars, cigarettes are made by blending the ingredients. When one of the blending batches is too strong or too weak, others may go unused to compensate and maintain the quality. That leftover is not good enough or there isn't enough for some to put their name on but they will offload it to others who can claim it is a good quality of wine. Costco and others will commission someone to make a private label for them but that is a product that is slightly inferior by design.

Gordon Tech has the better rock stars though. We've got Bill Meehan, Mike O'Connell, Camilo Gonzalez, Santiago Durango, and dare I say, yours truly. Fenwick has Nasti Habits.

Wait really? I had no idea that Camilo and Santiago went to Gordon. Funny, I was a huge Naked Raygun fan (probably saw them 15+ times over the years).

Mike O'Connell was 3 years older than me but graduated with my brother. I saw R.O.T.A. play a number of gigs - including Igloo, Club Stodola, The Rusty Nail, etc back in the day - when they were a hardcore band ('Child! Adult!) with that guy that went on to be in White Zombie. Before they became the schlock Kiss thing (which I really liked).

I graduated with Steve Amella who was in a cool hardcore band called Insolent Respect - did a good gig with Corrosion of Conformity at The Bank on Lincoln if I recall correctly. Then there was that Jeff guy (tall long hair dude) who played bass in Impulse Manslaughter and went on to replace Joe Losurdo in a bizarre incarnation of Life Sentence. I also think there was a guy who had a cup of coffee (drums maybe?) with Fat Ted and the boys in Generation Waste.

Ah, I miss the old hardcore days....
