9/11-Themed Merlot And Chardonnay

[Locutus]

Classy.


The sale of 9/11-themed alcohol by a Long Island winery is likely to raise some eyebrows and draw ire despite some monetary benefit to charity.

Lieb Family Cellars of Mattituck says it has produced the 9/11 Memorial Commemorative Chardonnay and 9/11 Memorial Commemorative Merlot to mark to the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and the opening of the 9/11 Memorial.

The company says it has 247 cases of the Chardonnay and 251 cases of the Merlot and that each will sell for $19.11 per bottle if purchased directly through the winery.

I would like to think that this idea was first formed out of a real desire to commemorate. But bottom line for me, you don't seek to profit out of the misfortune of others.

My daughter has been dreading this tenth annivesary. We have an unspoken rule in our house, we never refer to the events as "September 11th" only as "9/11".

September 11, 2011 will mark my daughter's twentieth birthday.

Quite frankly, it's no different from all of the TV networks who are chasing after the 10th anniversary business.

I'd rather get drunk on a bottle of "Highway to Hell".

Of course it isn't. But then no one really has the bar set too high for broadcast TV networks though.

I'd rather get drunk on a bottle of "Highway to Hell".

There are no words.
