Red Zeppelin Winery Official - Stillman Brown

Ladies, gentlemen and fruit flies, we are burstingly proud to report that the Red Zeppelin Black Zeppelin 2005 Paso Robles Red Wine has just won the 2008 Hospice du Rhone "Syrah Shootout" in a landslide. 45 Syrahs from around the world, submitted to and selected by the world's largest Rhone varietal event, and judged by seventy winemakers in attendance, overwhelmingly voted for our wine in a blind tasting of bagged bottles held at the famed Villa Creek restaurant yesterday afternoon. It wasn't even close, though there were some other blazingly excellent wines in the tasting. Swilly gets the Engraved Barrel and the Coat of Rhonely Colors to wear for a year, and he's so happy. They match some of his other clothes.
So what else is new? Well, we are developing a new super-insulated package for spring and summer wine delivery and preparing the new vintage of Red Zeppelin Syrah and Vinidiction for bottling. No major wine festivals are in our budget except for the Central Coast Wine Classic, the second weekend of July here in SLO. Stay tuned!
