Wine-making, buying and selling real estate, does the man ever slow down?

JON BON JOVI ANNOUNCES HIS OWN BRAND OF WINE

Jon Bon Jovi and his son Jesse have collaborated on a family brand of wine, which will be launched later this month.

Named Diving Into Hampton Water, the rose was produced in association with top French winemaker Gerard Bertrand and will retail at $25 a bottle.

“It’s a favorite in our household because you can drink it starting with lunch and into the evening, and we enjoy lots of it whenever we travel,” Bon Jovi told The New York Times, before elaborating on his love for the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, where the grapes for the wine were grown. “It’s a storybook area with castles and ruins and rolling hills, and I really loved the architecture – the medieval castles were in such good shape. Also, you’re not really going to find any chain restaurants there. We dined at all tiny, family-run places, and I ate a lot of seafood, especially shellfish. Americans haven’t discovered this part of France yet, and it was a pleasure to discover. Growing up in New Jersey, I’ve been preaching my whole life that you have to get out to find the beautiful places in this world.”

The wine is named after the Bon Jovi family home in Main Beach in East Hampton. “[W]e’re out in the ocean and on the sand every day,” the singer said. “The Hamptons is an outdoor life – we go on beach walks, and I’m an avid runner. I also go bicycling.” 

In a separate announcement he noted, “Creating this wine with Gerard was just as creative as collaborating with another songwriter, Gerard uses his talents and wine knowledge just like a gifted musician. And working with my son on this has been an amazing experience.”

Diving Into Hampton Water has a Twitter account, which included a brief exchange with Bon Jovi last week. I“We’re 29 minutes away from the first glass of Hampton Water of the night. … What are all of you doing tonight?” the singer was asked. “Already poured mine," he replied. "Can’t wait until you all have a chance to enjoy Hampton Water.”
Bon Jovi and his band will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in April, while their latest tour in support of their 13th albumThis House Is Not For Sale, begins in March.



Bon Jovi sells spacious NYC condo for $16M

Not everything works out for New Jersey native and rockstar Jon Bon Jovi.
After listing his 4,000-square-foot West Village duplex for $17.25 million last summer, he had to settle for an offer of only $16 million, which is reportedly how much the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom condo sold for this weekaccording to The Wall Street Journal.
Bon Jovi purchased the condo, which is located on the fourth and fifth floor of a building at 150 Charles St., for $12.88 million in August 2015.
The unit features a large landscaped terrace directly "off the entertaining rooms of the apartment" that -- like most of the condo -- overlooks the Hudson River.
Other highlights include a "top-of-the-line" custom kitchen, a "well-proportioned" master suite with views of the Hudson River and Freedom Tower and hardwood floors throughout.
The identity of the buyer is unknown.

I am and always have been a Bon Jovi fan. This blog is just my obsession taken a step further, my imagination in high gear if you will. I love to read and decided to see what would happen when I took that love of the written word and ramped it up a bit.
