What's the deal with Trump Wine?
by Aaron Smith @AaronSmithCNN
Donald Trump doesn't drink but he owns his own vineyard - Trump Winery - with a landing pad for his helicopter.

he site says the winery has 50,000 square feet of winemaking facilities, tank capacity of 100,000 gallons, and a 750-barrel cave. Trump also operates the vineyard's Albemarle Estate, a 26,000-square foot, 45-room mansion, as a hotel that can fetch up to $999 per night. The winery produces 40,000 cases annually and receives 100,000 visitors a year who taste its red, white and sparkling wines.
His son, Eric Trump, is the president of the winery, which still employs winemaker Jonathan Wheeler, who's been there for a decade and used to work for the Kluges.
"Toward the end of the Kluge days, there was no investment being made in equipment or personnel in order to make truly great wines," Wheeler told CNNMoney. "We have spent an enormous of time, money, and effort getting the vineyard to produce great fruit."
Prices range from $16 for a 2014 Chardonnay, to $50 for the Sparkling Reserve from 2008.

Beautiful place.
Trump does not drink any alcohol. And he never has smoked. That explains why he can hold 2 rallies in different states on most days. Amazing energy for a 69 year old.
You can order some thru amazon:
Produce things? Investments? Hire people?
So much easier to be a community organizer
But the guy who knows everything and especially the value of everything calls it $5 wine. And his idiot followers laugh. The wine has won its share of awards, I know little or nothing about it and don’t care to. It’s probably a small side venture for DT. But our idiot in chief gets the final word on what’s good and what’s stupendous, like his healthcare plan.
I think it is mostly to supply his hotels.
There is a man who owns about 8 hair styling shops in the town I live in.
He was never a hair stylist or never graduated from hair styling school.
Apparently, he is just a businessman.
Eric is carrying on as an honest to goodness capitalist entrepreneur and he also happens to be a serious gun advocate, a real tribute to an amazing father.
I didn’t know anything about it till Zippybama mentioned it the other day. Now I have to get some.
I’ve had the Trump Champagne (Sparkling Wine) and it’s as good as some of the better French varieties. I supposed I shouldn’t have been surprised. Most of the Trump products - and I’m talking about resorts and clubs - that I have personally seen and or experienced have been exceptional.
Trump wine is my competition, but even his detractors in the wine business admit his sparkling is one of the best. He makes a complete new business that supplies his hotels. Pretty smart and Trump winery is the biggest in VA...maybe the east coast
I want some inexpensive, and not too dry, Trump wine, say, $20 or under. Not getting luck chasing links. Found one?
Frack Obama and the camel he rode in on.
“Frack Obama and the camel he rode in on.”
And his sidekick Willard, too.
I think Jeb has always made that sound, but Trump is his current woe-is-me.
Preferably served wrapped ala brown bag de papier.
And purchased with an EBT card.
Rush Limbaugh this past week called Trump’s wine, “vinegar.” I have no idea what the context was since after 25+ years of faithful listening I have hardly listened lately to Rush.
