Animated movies always have products associated with them but the latest Pixar movie has produced merchandise that goes far beyond the usual fast-food restaurant tie-ins and themed bedroom sets. Ratatouille is about a Parisian rat with culinary aspirations has spawned a new line of cooking accessories for kids sold through Sur La Table. Even more interesting is the Ratatouille wine. The wine will be carried by Costco and is a 2004 white Burgundy from the Mâcon's Château de Messey. You can buy it starting on August 1 at Costco stores in 18 states for around $13. This may just be the first wine your kids encourage you to buy. I wonder why they aren't promoting cheese with this movie? Do you give a rat's ass marketing a chance?
Chris is always looking for innovative trends in fashion and lifestyle driven by his curiosity for the good life. He loves to stay up to date on the new in places to go, the latest in music and eccentric new concepts. What he writes about today is what you’ll like tomorrow. That is not meant to sound pompous, it is just part of being a good trend hunter, which is the art of figuring out what is on the edge. It is not about what's already popular, because what's popular is already old.
