Inspired by Ravenswood wine and their foray into the world of race marketing and a reference to Batali here, as well, for his NASCAR BBQ cookbook.
Caption Multiple Choice:

B) Well, a lot of "metrosexuals" drink wine and the, "No Wimpy Wines" just doesn’t really resonate.
C) Maybe they can "jump the shark" with Mario Batali and his Nascar cookbook and cash checks together

Inspired by this bit of madcap lunacy from our friends across the pond. From Decanter magazine:
Singer-turned-winemaker Cliff Richard has been duped into slamming his own wine as ‘tainted and insipid’ on a TV programme.
Richard’s nemesis was the outspoken super-chef Gordon Ramsay, on whose show The F-Word Richard was appearing as a guest.
