Andrew Firestone, most known for appearing in ABC’s reality TV show “The Bachelor,” shares his passion for wine in a DVD, “Wine Ways, An Introduction to the Culture of Wine.”

Wow, something I have to run out to the store and buy now.

In his own words, he said:

Growing up on the family vineyard, I’ve come to know and appreciate wine in a unique way. I’ve also noticed that wine culture can be intimidating and sometimes even pretentious. Given this disconnect between reality and perception I wanted to demystify the wine experience so that more people could enjoy all it has to offer. With this in mind, I set out to produce a film called Wine Ways! Creating a film around my true passion has been both enjoyable and rewarding. What began as an idea to introduce people to the culture of wine has become something greater, something that captures the collective wisdom of a few iconic individuals from the entertainment business and the food and wine industry. With their support and commitment, the making of Wine Ways became a reality.

In 2005, I helped to launch Confidential, a hip, loft-style lounge-restaurant situated right in the heart of San Diego’s Historic Gaslamp Quarter. The restaurant features an award-winning upscale bar menu, specializing in eclectic global fusion small plate cuisine, cutting-edge cocktails and, naturally, great wines from boutique wineries throughout the world.

As the Sales and Marketing Director of Firestone Family Estates, I work closely with my brother Adam to ensure the continued success of the family business. Now in its third generation, leveraging years of experience and the benefits of technology, Firestone Family Estates is producing some of California’s best estate wines.

So, again, I would like to thank you for visiting my website. I also want to extend my gratitude for all the kind letters and thoughts that I have received over the past year. Your support and interest are greatly appreciated. I look forward to staying in touch.

Cheers!
Andrew Firestone

Yawn.

I think Jen Schefft who Andrew picked from the show was lucky to get away. I hope her book, Better Single Than Sorry: A No-Regrets Guide to Loving Yourself and Never Settling which she wrote sometime after their split did well for her.

I wonder if or when he and model Ivana Bozilovic (who reportedly got engaged last year) will get hitched.
