It seems that Francis Ford Coppola will do whatever it takes to consolidate himself as one of the largest wine producers in the world. Why are we saying this?
* The director just hired – at a hefty sum — Philippe Bascaules, a leading wine expert from Chateau Margaux, one of the most famous vineyards of Bordeaux.
* Coppola, of course, is delighted with the new hire to his producing properties in California. "It’s a dream come true." And what a dream it is, right?
