There’s a run on Trump Wine, with stores in the Washington region selling out of bottles bearing the president’s name.

Mike Mackie, co-owner of The Wine Cabinet in Reston, Va., says the brand is flying off his store shelves quicker than he can restock it for multiple reasons.

Which grape or grapes are used.

[CJ Wolf]

It was really good. I’d buy another bottle.

Grandma used to make Welch’s grape juice wine.

Husband and I went to TRUMP WINERY in September. We had a great time at the tasting. I also bought my #MAGA hat there that day. Since I have bought over 20 bottles of all varieties and had a Trump wine bar at my 50th birthday party January 21st with 5 different wines and my life size cardboard PRESIDENT Trump served as Sommelier Needless to say it was a YUGE hit.

My family has been enjoying more than our fair share! I know the Harris Teeter near me cannot keep it on the shelf.

The winery is down the road from Monticello.... made a visit there also.... was a very memorable day trip!

My batting average was up significantly last summer, and my leftist freak acquaintance was excited to hear I'd been hitting these:

Or because he’s president now, they hope the bottles will be very valuable some day.

Even more valuable IF the Left impeaches him!

Trump probably relies on his wine drinking friends to judge the quality of each vintage. Some of Donald’s friends are wealthy enough to already own wineries or own the acreage for the vineyards. Somehow, I don’t see him asking Ivanka and Jared about this issue. Melania is a woman of the world. I’ll bet she knows a proper bouquet when she tastes one.

The 2009 Sparkling wine was an award winner. The 2010 vintage sells for $75. That’s a hefty price for a sparkling wine. Very hefty. It therefore must be pretty good if they’re sold out of it.

We had a 2015 Chardonnay on Inauguration Day — yes, I capitalized it — at a dinner dance sponsored by our county Republican Club.

Meritage? That’s an odd name for wine.
A “Bordeaux blend with bold red fruit aromas of ripe plums, cherries, and blackberries...”
I’d buy it. But I love Mad Dog, too.

[lafroste]

Actually very possible. Everyone knows that Washington movers and shakers are simply addicted to Trump Whine.

[deadrock]

Nice.

Why restrict the run to the Beltway. Buy it wherever it’s available.

[HollyB]

Whining? Of all the reasons that one never crossed my mind.

Perhaps 60 million people like Trump and want to try his wine is what occurred to me.

[Cobra64]

I’m not a pilot but I own airline stock. His son owns the business.

[Cobra64]

Knowing that crowd,they’ll fire bomb the store.

[lonevoice]

LOL!

Snowflake Whine. For people who never get tired of whining. All our whines come exclusively from California, Washington, New York and Illinois. Below is a partial list of our selection 1. Naughty Russian, with хяк дела (a/k/a "hacker")grapes grown with computerized high-tec breeding techniques in the sunny Crimea, but fermented and bottled in California, this fruity whine is a favorite of legendary movie producer Michael Moore 2. Syrian Shriek, a recent overnight sensation. The grapes were fertilized with selectively excerpted executive orders and tons of bull-sh!t. More and more bottles keep making the way to whine shops, despite warnings from the FDA and BATF that the sparkling effervescence that characterizes this wine results from the explosive pressure under which it is bottled. The Shriek Corporation fervently denies that anyone has yet been killed by their product. 3. Snowflake Riot, the only whine that is kept at boiling point until it is opened. Bus-loads of this whine keep showing up all over the country. Its bizzarre logo, a picture of the bottle with a burning rag in it, is attracting ever-increasing buyers. 4. MAGA-hat Contusion. This whine was specially fermented so that its color matches exactly the color of human blood on a MAGA hat. 5. Soros' Favorite. This peculiar whine gets its even more peculiar name by virtue of its bizarre label, which shows billionaire George Soros rubbing his hands together and smiling evilly. Even more strange is the fact that when you pick it up and bring to the cash register, the label becomes animated. The hands move. I swear I've seen it! The whine, parenthetically, is horrible.
