Bennett Lane, The Nascar Winery

We've talked before about the fusion between Nascar and fine living. Check out this article on Bloomberg about Nascar wines and the Bennett Lane Winery, the first winery to back a Nascar racing team. Former race car driver Randy Lynch is now a successful winery owner. He and his wife Lisa started off in th Napa Valley with a weekend house and a small vineyard but then picked up a nearby winery. The Lynches are part of an overall wine drinking trend in the Nascar crowd with the numbers of wine lovers rising steadily and wine now being sold at concession stands.

If you are looking for a light summer white wine the recently released 2006 Bennett Lane Maximus Feasting White wine is a nice choice. It is a blend of 87% Sauvignon Blanc, 11% Chardonnay, and 2% Muscat. It's a bit fruity but with a nice mineral snap to keep it crisp and refreshing. It sells for $28.

When Maximus first launched back in February 2005, I was immediately taken with her sleek looks. Over the past year, Maximus did not disappoint, sweeping to victory in the Rolex Fastnet race, the Rolex Transatlantic Challenge, the Cowes Week Maxi Challenge and others. Now this supermaxi sailing yacht is for sale. She has a state-of-the-art carbon fiber lifting and canting keel and is ready to take on the 2006 racing season. Maximus was designed by Greg Elliot and Clay Oliver and her inventory includes a Full North 3DL wardrobe, 40' Container, full spares spec and chaseboat. She can also be bought as a business package with skipper and crew. The yacht is selling for $6,152,355. She's built for speed rather than comfort but if you are interested in dominating races this is the dream yacht.
