On tonight's season opener of The Bachelorette -- girlie spinoff of The Bachelor, ABC's popular fake reality dating show about white people -- one of the 25 bachelors in competition is 28-year-old Sonoma winemaker Benjamin Flajnik. And just look at him. No, look at him! He looks like the kind of guy with whom one might want to have premarital sexual intercourse. Good call, Disney Company.
Inside Scoop's Paolo Lucchesi has the details:
Mr. Flajnik — or as he’ll be known on the show, Ben F. — is the 28-year-old co-owner of Evolve Winery. (His partner at Evolve is Michael Benziger of Benziger family fame.) Evolve doesn’t have a tasting room, but you can buy the wines at various places around the valley; that is, until Flajnik tries to bring fame and fortune to the fledgling brand.
Sadly, according to his bio page, Flajnik's one of those guys who's really into fútbol. An American guy into fútbol, that is. You know the type. But see if he manages to trump pretentious stereotypes starting tonight at 9 p.m. on ABC.
