Debutantes, start your engines: ABC's newest "Bachelor" arrives Wednesday night. And he has a pedigree.

The rubber is about to hit the road for a third season of the hit show, which premieres at 9 p.m. and will star Andrew Firestone, the grandson of tire mogul Harvey Firestone.

On paper, at least, 27-year-old Andrew sounds dreamy. During the week, the University of San Diego grad lives with a roommate in San Francisco and works at a currency trading firm. On weekends the admitted "big wine freak" spends time at his family's Santa Ynez Valley vineyard, where Firestone tells the paper he'll probably wind up working full time. (Ladies, take note: Firestone's fave grapes are chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon and, inexplicably, merlot.)

Firestone was a hand-me-down candidate for the show, the paper notes. Producers first found his big brother, Adam -- but with a wife and four kids already in hand, Adam shuffled the show off to Andrew. And after two earlier, unsuccessful relationships, Andrew seems ready to follow his big brother's picket-fenced path.

"I've done the things I've had to do -- moved, taken career chances -- all the things a single life requires," the younger Firestone says. "Now I'm looking forward to enjoying those successes with someone else. I recognize a big vacancy in my life." Happy hunting, Andrew.
