 The New York Daily News reports that Vince Neil, winemaker? Who knew!
"I have a very nice, full-bodied Petite Sirah that has a wonderful flavor. I'm also pretty proud of a white Cabernet and a white Merlot we bottled in 2003. Our Cabernet Sauvignon has been rated at 91 by the Wine Spectator. Our white, 90. That's pretty amazing."
What's amazing is that this is not some snooty vintner talking, but the man who sings "I'm the Motherf- of the Year" on the new CD "Saints of Los Angeles."
Meet the sober Vince Neil. The onetime wino and lead singer of all-time bad-boy band Motley Crue - who downed more drugs, injected more smack, dropped more acid, visited more jails and engaged in more wild sex than any other rockers in history - is now the proprietor of Vince Vineyards in Sonoma, Calif.
"What's wrong with that?" he snaps when a questioner wonders if he is joking. Still, tending vines and caring about oak casks is not the image of Neil that Crue cultists are cool with.
"I've got a lot of outside businesses," he adds, while taking a break from the band's first-ever CrueFest, an Ozzy Osbourne-like traveling summer show..
"I own Tequila Tres Rios, a bar in Palm Beach, a tattoo shop in Las Vegas and the vineyard. Dude, just because I'm still wild on stage doesn't mean I'm still f- up. I'm really proud of what we're doing. We just bottled a great white Cab at about $19."
