Jones-Payton superbowl Wine Flap
This is one of the funniest controversies ever! Most assuredly because it ISN’T a controversy.
First: Caymus Special Selection
Those of you who open our EMails realize that we sold over 20 cases of this wine a few months ago. It isn’t exactly the most scarce or rare California wine out there.
It isn’t, by far, a terribly expensive wine either. if Payton scarfed Jones bottle of Lafite Rothschild that might be interesting.
Second: The restaurant in Texas
What a bunch of idiots! The only reason the wine was scarce IN THIS RETAURANT is that management only had one bottle. How difficult would it have been to get a second bottle for Jerry Jones the following day…..EASY AS PIE!
If the restaurant owner couldn’t get a wholesale salesperson to bring it to him, it is legal in Texas for a restaurant to buy from a retailer (in some jurisdictions it is required). There must be DOZENS of stores in the Dallas area who could have helped by selling the restaurant a bottle.
This whole thing is a bogus PR stunt by the restaurant
shame on them
