I've written before about the rapidly increasing ranks of celebrities (living and dead) who are putting their names and images on wine (see If Your Wine Was Gerard Depardieu What would It Taste Like?). Thanks to a tip from Luxist, it looks like Slate has one-upped me and actually had Michael Steinberger review them. Damn. I wish I had done that. Oh well, I encourage you to enjoy the slightly witty, if a little tired, results of his forays into liquid Elvis, et al.
