Drink this in: A new company, Wines That Rock, has uncorked its first three varieties of rock-inspired vino - Forty Licks merlot, Woodstock chardonnay and The Dark Side of the Moon cabernet sauvignon.
Besides wrapping original album art around the bottles - which sell for $16.99 each or around $50 for a three-pack (for now only at
wines-that-rock.com) - the California winemakers' process is a little rock and roll, too.
"Traditionally, you create the wine and then name it based on its personality," Wines That Rock co-founder Rob Roy said in a statement. "With these wines, we blasted the music in the cellar of the winery and developed a bottle of wine that captured the attitude of the music."
And in keeping with that rock mind-set, all three wines received a high-profile tasting last month at the two Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concerts at Madison Square Garden. No word on whether Mick Jagger liked the Forty Licks stuff.
We can't wait for the Ziggy Stardust Zinfandel.
