Celebrity Train Wreck of the Week
A while back, we introduced the
concept of Celebrity Train Wreck of the Week. You remember,
Britney Spears had a meltdown, shaved her head and became our inaugural
CTWotW. Although never earning official Celebrity Train Wreck
status, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan have each been honored on these
pages for behavior detrimental to sustaining life and could easily have
been CTWotW.. This week, we honor another celebrity (also a winolicious
babe!) with the potential to check out at any time. You know her
from her roles on TJ Hooker, Dynasty, Melrose Place and more. Yes,
ladies and gents, our Celebrity Train Wreck of the Week is none other
than... Heather Locklear!
The lovely and talented Ms.
Locklear has a long history of intoxication "issues" (she has been
arrested several times for DUI and family members have called 911
several times over the years due to her drug and alcohol abuse.)
Last week, emergency medical personnel rushed Heather to the Los Robles
Hospital in Thousand Oaks, CA for treatment of drug and alcohol
consumption. Fortunately, she was released the following day and
is reported to be "out of danger".

While Heather can sometimes be an ugly drunk...

...her mug shot is not half bad, and...

she cleans up pretty well!!!
(Note: I want to state
that everything in this article pertaining to Ms. Locklear and her
problems are entirely ALLEGED. There are two
reasons for this: 1) I'm sure her big time Hollywood lawyers are
much more skilled than the WinoStuff lawyers over at the law firm of Dewey, Cheetem and
Howe, and 2) I think I might still have a shot with her...).
Congratulations, Heather!

Winery
of the Month
Ok, I tend to be a fan of the big
reds. In fact, that's pretty much all I drink. But
sometimes, a red is just not right. Like when you are sitting out
on your deck, grilling up a big hunk of meat, and it's 90+ degrees
outside. Yeah, a big red wine will go perfectly with that hunk o'
meat but during the preparation, you just need something cool and
refreshing... That's where this month's WotM comes in...
Something cool and citrusy and ultimately refreshing is how I would
describe Nine Walks Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand.
Oh yeah, it's affordable, too!

Grapes for Nine Walks are grown in the Wairau Valley
and Awatere Valley sub-regions of Marlborough. According to the sell
sheet, the fruit from the
Wairau Valley delivers the more tropical & herbaceous elements, while
the fruit from the Awatere Valley provides a more mineral-infused and
restrained streak that gives Nine Walks its distinct texture and palate
weight.
If the mercury is still high in your neighborhood, cool
off with some nice NZ SB!
Congratulations, Nine Walks!
