Sour Grapes Department: Comedian Pat Paulsen, 61, has hung a “for sale” sign on his winery because of money problems. He says his financial problems began after he divorced his first wife last year. He then married his 35-year-old agent, a union that only lasted six weeks. Now, he’s involved in dividing community property, including the winery, with his first wife, and is preparing a fraud suit against his second wife. Paulsen hopes to find a co-investor or someone who will buy the winery and keep him as a consultant. Two years ago the winery’s estimated valued was $3.7 million. The perennial presidential candidate told the San Francisco Chronicle: “I’ve got no business sense at all.”
