In what the media hailed as the most prestigious award announcement of the season, Vice President Kamala Harris was named "Person of the Year" by Wine Enthusiast magazine.
The annual honor, given to a person to recognize outstanding achievement in wine consumption, was voted unanimously to be awarded to Harris after the awe-inspiring work she did throughout 2024 to promote and exemplify the enjoyment of wine.
"She blew every other candidate out of the water," said Jacqueline Strum, the magazine's editor and publisher. "Each year, we look for the person who the public would think of most synonymously with wine. While there is typically a healthy debate to come up with a winner in other years, 2024 was far and away Kamala Harris's year. Her campaign speeches, the debate performance… she absolutely dominated."
Harris was honored to accept the award. "As someone who was born into a middle-class family, this is the greatest achievement of my life," she said in a video statement. "Wine Enthusiast is for enthusiasts. Enthusiasts are people who are enthusiastic. And enthusiasm is a tremendous thing. Wine is amazing, am I right? Wine is what life is all about. My life, at least. In that sense, wine is life. And life is meant to be lived with enthusiasm. And that is why I love wine. Somebody get me another bottle! HAHAHAHA!"
At publishing time, Harris had reportedly asked the magazine's staff if it was true that the award came with a lifetime supply of wine.
I think she should be named Person of the Year by Salad Magazine.
More hard hitting, straight reporting by the Bee!
ROTFLMAO!
Kamala’s Gymnastic training allowed her to break the glass ceiling with her Heels!
Now that the dust is settling after the election, it’s time to give credit where it’s due. Also, I was unaware that Willie Brown was a candidate...
Fat Fannie was a close second.
She could be a NAPA Valley wine taster, but she would have to learn how to spit instead of swallow.
She is displacing Hildabeast?
I laugh even today thinking about it.
I’m sure the Clintons are seething with envy.
They must have emptied the barrel room in 1 sitting to arrive at that.
Bee serious.
Kamala Harris can be recognized for something positive, like wine consumption?
Positive ? Yes.
Other than that, she was the worst nominee to ever run for any office in the USA.
“JOY” You betcha, when she was creamed, I had tears of JOY!
Retire to Nowheresville and cackle your empty head away.
Apparently the award was based on consumption of expensive wine. My bet was on Nancy Pelosi and she damn near won except for Kamala’s strong finish on the home stretch aboard Air Force Two. Half a bottle of Chardonnay was the margin.
I ALMOST fell for this headline until i looked down to see where it came from ... at first, i thought, WTF???
BOXED wine enthusiast
