Lil Jon starts his own winery (Goblet sold separately)

April 4th, 2008 // 55 Comments

Lil Jon may be the greatest mind of our generation. The mad scientist is throwing caution to the wind and daring to combine crunk and classy. How is that even possible, you ask? By starting his own wine label: Little Jonathan Winery. POW! The AP reports:

“It kind of came out of nowhere,” Lil Jon told The Associated Press of his new venture, Little Jonathan Winery. “We were just going to do some private label stuff (for parties) and we did it, and people was like, `Hey, it’s pretty nice.’”
Lil Jon acknowledges that he’s no wine connoisseur. “I’m not no ‘drink wine every day’ kind of dude,” he said in a telephone interview. “I’m not like an expert, so don’t ask me no questions … I just like the taste.”

But Lil Jon wants to make sure customers know he’s dedicated to the quality of his products:

“My full name is Jonathan,” the Atlanta-based artist said. “The wine is more nature: I wanted to not just have a direct connection, but make it just a little bit more upscale than regular ‘Lil Jon.’ … This is not no ghetto Boone’s Farm; this is some real wine.”

Lil Jon: Entrepreneur, pioneer and no drink wine every day kind of dude. His shit’s for real, son – and it tastes like grapes!

Thanks to Karen who, if she were a wine, would be Cabernet sauvig-awesome.

    Grape kool aid, grape “drink”, and grape ape are no more considered actual wine than Grape Ape is.

    eeeYAAAYA!! I hear his wines are pretty good. He’s mixing a lot of varietals with certain herbs. The Rzaling pairs nicely with Popeyes chicken. The Chibaney and Syrahsemia are very palatable, nice balance of tannins and paranoia. Trouble is you feel the urge to eat a wheel of brie after drinking them.

    He named a winery after his penis??
    Can you imagine a wine tasting at his winery? Maybe some wine pairings with Michael Chiarello or Martha Stewart…I would pay cash to see that.
    Michael: “Today we’re going with a special Mother’s Day theme. My mother always loved a good meal and good wine, along with plenty of good friends. For the main course we are going to make a delicious Slow-Roasted Halibut with Asparagus and Salsa Genovese. That covers our good meal, and for good wine and good friends, I have invited an entertainer and budding wine maker, Lil Jon. Lil Jon, what vintage have you paired with todays offerings?”
    Lil Jon: “PURPLE DRANK, BEEEEYOTCH!”

    This is what musicians are up to now? Because we all download their music instead of pay 20 bucks for one or two songs out of 20? Hah, what will they do next?

    I think Snoop will start a grape farm to sell to “Jonathan”

    So I guess if you have money you can claim to be a wine maker/producer. I am sure that Paul Hobbs Winery, Silver Oak Cellars & Treana will have to sharpen up on their producing tactics just to keep up. =)
