Wine Is Elegance

Wine is obviously going to be more elegant if you are using Vincent Price's voice to describe it.
And if it's Californian.

(mods - that first link is broken - http://vincentprice%2Corg/ is incorrect).
I loved me some Vincent Price when I was a kid - his horror was my favorite flavor.
God, his voice rocks the world. I could listen to him reading ingredients from a cereal box.

"Tales of Terroir" totally needs to be an awesome 1950s historical mystery novel series narrated by a Hollywood star (thinly disguised Vincent Price pastiche) who solves murders and discovers fabulous wines on the side.

Oh wow, there are more Vincent Price audio recordings than you can shake a stick at. Listening to his Larry King interview right now.

I think you might want to see Vincent Price and Peter Lorre in a hilarious wine-tasting contest from Roger Corman's 1962 Tales of Terror...

Exactly my thought. :)

Ahh, Vincent! My favorite roll of his is not in a horror film, though of course he rules the court there, but rather his part as the self-important, yet good-hearted, actor Mark Cardigan in "His Kind of Woman". He's so damn great in that movie.

Wine? Vincent was really more of a beer-and-a-smoke guy.

I read recently that the name "Vincent" is derived from "reeking of wine".

telstar: I read recently that the name "Vincent" is derived from "reeking of wine".Nah, that's actually the literal meaning of "Connecticut"... but that thread was deleted. And dumb.

Vincent Price also curated the Vincent Price Collection of Fine Art, an extensive collection of fine art assembled by Vincent Price for Sears, Roebuck & Co., which he discusses here for your edification.
The opener's a doozy.

Still, I love that recording. Price was known as a gourmet, and his enthusiasm for good food and wine, plus his marvelous delivery, never fails to entertain me.
