Diddy, Coppola, WIGS, NY pizza – sipped & spit


SIPPED: Politesse
Diddy’s Bad Boy staff will receive etiquette training including how to hold a wine glass. As slatewine put it, “Pass the Courvoisier, correctly.” And maybe not to spill the Cristal on the floor? Sheesh! [nypost]

SIPPED: sincerity?
Francis Ford Coppola says that he wants to make more elegant wines by reducing alcohol and oak and increasing freshness in his newly revitalized Inglenook wine. While tasting is believing, it is notable to hear a Napa vintner articulating such a position. [decanter]

SPIT: status quo
The Albany Times-Union comes out in favor of wine in grocery stores (the delightful acronym, WIGS) in New York.

Also: Groupon files to raise $750 million in an IPO.

And… Jon Stewart riffs on a Coppola character by chewing out Donald Trump about New York pizza.

  1. Pizza with a fork. Whatta stugotz!


  2. It’s either Diddy or Sean Combs (or if you want to be reaaaaaaly white, Sean “Diddy” Combs), but under no circumstances Sean Diddy!


  3. Matt – I stand corrected. I clearly should go to the etiquette school for Diddy fka P Diddy aka Sean Combs school!
