Wine/Tie Maker

[Peter Creasey]

Winemakers seem to have a thing for also making ties. Talbott and DuBoeuf come to mind as they both make top-quality ties.

The DuBoeuf Andre Claude Canova Silk Neckties have good material, length, build, and pattern.

Here's an example...

Anybody know the story as to how DuBoeuf got into the tiemaking business?

Any other examples? Seems like a big stretch to say that winemakers have a thing for making ties.

Maybe it's the fleeting ephemeral effect of both being 9-letter words containing "emak".

Is this real?

You mean the tie, or Pete Creasey the former NASA scientist?

 

[Todd Abrams]

The pattern on the DuBeouf tie is actually a color representation of fructose crystals from a glass of Beaujolais Nouveau spilled onto an Ikea “Ektorp” couch in suburban Philadelphia.

Well, tiemaker would be nine letters if you pluralize it, anyway.

 

[Michael Lewis]

Oh, and also if it were a real word instead of one that you made up.

Come on, Mentos did it first.

 

[Jeff Grossman]

Whatever a winemaker might want, someone will put it on a tie.

I usually just put wine on my tie, keeps it simple.

I suppose that, at last, we know the origin of the phrase "tie one on"

It's 2013, shouldn't we all be wearing space-age mylar jumpsuits or something?

 

[Peter Creasey]

Kay, What MANY folks are now wearing to fine restaurants is shameful.

[Cole Kendall]

Why does this thread bring back memories of Garo Yepremian (who I recall was both a tiemaker and a tiebreaker)?

I agree, those winemaker ties are really ugly and should not be worn in public.

Georg, Are you including the DuBoeuf tie in that assessment?

I have only worn it once. It got numerous (I assume genuine) compliments...plus my persnickety wife likes it!?!

Joe, No, but I'm confident you measured up nicely.
