You have to subscribe to read the whole article, here's the snippet I got:

Intersection of Hollywood and Vines
Wall Street Journal (subscription) - New York,NY,USA
... you know a trend is coming ashore, so consider this: Costco will soon be carrying a line of wines with Mick Fleetwood, drummer and co-founder of Fleetwood Mac. ...

Mick is a wh*re, and has been since his first bankruptcy.

Where is Costco? Out West? We don't have them around here. We only have Sam's Club.

Hmm..must be west thing - because come to think of it I've not seen any Costcos out here either

And it's basically the exact same thing as Sams Club - except they probably don't sell the Walton brand or whatever it is...

This reminds me of bands sinking to the casino level.

We have Costco's here in the UK. Wonder if it will end up over here too?

I am picturing Mick in a paper hairnet/cap, passing out samples to people with 5 gallon jugs of mayonnaise, and 4 pound blocks of cheese in their extra-wide carts.
Of course, I have a Costco membership, and I will have to swing by his sample table. My cart will be full of junk food I like to pretend is better: a case of Annie's mac and cheese, and ten yards of fruit leather.
