November 15, 2004

RUSH fan site Power Windows is reporting that RUSH bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee is one of many celebrity wine lovers to be profiled in the upcoming book, "Oldman's Guide to Outsmarting Wine", coming Dec. 7, 2004. The book includes an exclusive profile of Geddy Lee and his wine preferences, proving himself to be keenly knowledgeable about a broad variety of wines, especially the intricacies of Burgundy, one of the most difficult regions to master. Geddy's wine-preference profile joins those of other notable wine lovers, such as Francis Ford Coppola, Morley Safer of "60 Minutes", novelist Jay McInernery, celebrity chef Mario Batali, Tori Amos, and even hip-hop star Ludacris.

Quote from Geddy Lee taken from the book "Oldman's Guide to Outsmarting Wine": "A number of years ago I was traveling through the northern Rhone with a good friend, en route to a tasting at a winery when we decided to stop at a restaurant…When we sat down we noticed that they… listed a 1978 [Comte de] Vogüé Musigny [red Burgundy] for about 80 dollars! Well, like most wine-geeks, we couldn’t resist a bargain and even though it was early…we decided to have lunch and enjoy what turned out to be one of the greatest bottle of Burgundies I’ve ever had. It may sound corny but the reward of finding a hidden treasure is taking the time to enjoy it with good food and good friends."
