So Francis Ford Coppola is selling collector Magnums of his wine.

In particular, a Magnum of Syrah that has a dvd of Apocolypse Now Redux on the base of the bottle (apparently a functional DVD!). The label is from a scene from the movie.

Now, initially, this sounded fun to me. Of all the pretentious names you could dig up for a varietal like Syrah, and you go with Apocalypse Now. I totally think LaHaye should come out with a series of Left Behind Wines. You know, the wines we'll all drink when all those annoying people go up to "heaven". Incidentally, I wonder if they will really be led to the Soylent Green factory. We'll drink and say, "Finally! We've been *hic* left behind! Who brought the weed?"

Sadly, to have an Apocalsip of the Apocalypse Now wine, I need to pay $225 dollars. Maybe I'll get a membership discount, but that still puts me at two Benjamins.

So, I think I'll pass. Until I don't. If I can ascertain that it will a)age beautifully and b) become quite valuable, maybe I will buy it.
