Let’s help Scientology actor Danny Masterson name his new wine venture

[Masterson, enjoying a beverage]

Since Scientology actor Danny Masterson was named in a lawsuit filed against him by four women who allege that he violently raped them, we’ve been curious about when he might be served legal papers. And we’ve also wondered where Masterson is at the moment and whether process servers will have a difficult time finding him.

And so we found it interesting that on his Instagram account, the That ’70s Show actor has been offering a pretty definite clue to his current location.

The latest image at his account is a photo of a harvest of grapes in Central California, and this is Danny’s caption: “Got Reisling? #harvest @esfuerzowines @fidiwinefarmer 20 bins this eve 40 mañana.”

Esfuerzo Wines, in Buellton, California, also featured Masterson in a video it made of the Riesling grape harvest, showing him hauling fruit and calling him their “MVP.”

Now, maybe it’s not shocking that a California-based actor is dabbling in winemaking. But if you remember, the women who say that Masterson raped them all allege that before he attacked them, they were either semi-conscious or unconscious, and three of them say it occurred after they had suspiciously become intoxicated after a single glass of an alcoholic beverage (two of them say it was a glass of wine).

Now, you might think that if you were accused of possibly doping women before violently raping them, and you knew that law enforcement and the press were keeping a pretty close look at you, you might think twice before going into the wine business.

But Danny Masterson has shown that he’s not really very careful about the things he says or does and if he’s going to make wine, well, let’s help him out.

What sort of branding do you think would sell best for Danny Masterson? Use your imagination.

“The Eighth Dynamic is really infinity stood upright. And it simply means infinity. Now, you can come along and say, ‘Well, you also mean the Supreme Being?’ No, we don’t particularly mean the Supreme Being. How do we know that you aren’t, collectively, the Supreme Being. See? That’s probably much more closer to truth. There are gods around of various kinds. There are some wind gods over in India; there are various savage gods of one kind or another. But if you give them a good quizzing you find out that they’re just a thetan and they behave most remarkably like you would if you hadn’t thought that you ought to lay aside all the power you had, too.” — L. Ron Hubbard, October 19, 1954
