Well, David Lynch and  the tasty, popular and expensive celebratory adult beverage, Dom Perignon. YES, that David Lynch and yes, this is an actual ad from Morrell Wine Company that popped up in my inbox. No, I won’t provide the exact link just in case WordPress thinks I’m spamming or something. That said, if Mr. Lynch wants to give me a kickback (or put me in one of his films, provided he’s still making them, not drinking too much champagne), I guess we can work something out. At $2039.40 a case, this isn’t cheap at all, but hey – pool up with a few friends and you get a dozen bottles you can swig while you’re watching Mulholland Dr. and trying to make sense of it. No, wait… that’s Inland Empire. I “got” Mulhollhand the first time I saw it, but it still freaks me out each time I see it.

Oh yeah, the product description only adds to the chuckle factor – click below the jump and make sure you’re sitting down.

First, the eye is drawn into a secret science-fiction world, with distant glimpses of light suspended in a nocturnal habitat. The “Dom Perignon by David Lynch” box is mesmerizing. The David Lynch signature is there, hidden in shimmering reflections that change with the light. Subtle relief is perceptible over the surface of this holographic world. The Dom Perignon gift box resembles a little magic theater, similar to the ones that David Lynch could have imagined. The silk ribbons at either end raise the curtain on the interior of the box, where Lynchian chiaroscuro silhouettes herald a world where mystery is a game. The iconic Dom Pérignon bottle is not far away.

– David Lynch

Hmmm. And all this time, I thought Lynch was a beer guy. To wit:
