Napa Valley's Yodelmeister

“That’s Vintnertainment!” says Arnold Arnopole of Peju Winery when describing his freeform musical comedy act behind the wine bar at this Napa Valley, California, tasting room.

The San Francisco Chronicle video captures the necktie-clad yodeler with his head in a giant wine vat (for haunting acoustic effects), and “rapping” lyrics homeboy-style to describe wines he’s pouring.

His Arnold Schwarznegger impersonation, when describing a “non-girly-man merlot,” reminds us that a big personality can add vivacity to a small job.
