Popovich Popping The Cork
Anyone who read the blog on Friday knew that I was in Paris for vacation. Although I wasn't at Tony Parker-Eva Longoria wedding I did have some spies around the city to try to give me some insight on what was happening. Here's the best nugget I got. San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and others, including Sean Elliott, went to a restaurant called Taillevent, where the wine list is said to be among the finest in the country. Turns out, our spies report, Popovich ordered a 1959 Magnum of Chateau d'Yquem--said to be the favorite of Queen Elizabeth II for 4,000 Euros ($5,480). Popovich really loves wines. According to Henry Abbott at True Hoop, Popovich was actually about to become an investor in a wine business.
