Derek Trucks Band is Rockin it!
OK Wines that Rock Fans, check out this fun little story.
So, we heard it through the grape vine (sorry about that) that Derek Trucks of The Allman Brothers Band and The Derek Trucks Band - sighted up Wines That Rock and loved it...
As soon as we heard that, we shipped Derek and the Band out a little care package. Cheers Derek (and band)! We are big fans over here at the Wines That Rock headquarters. We’ve been grooving to the new Album Roadsongs all week.

Do yourself a favor and give it a listen. They have the whole thing streaming for free on their site. |
If you’ve never heard any of their music, get on this! Derek has been called "the most awe-inspiring electric slide guitar player performing today"
Nuff Respect to Derek Trucks Band!
Cheers

St. Louis, Wine, and a bunch of Animals
If Wines That Rock hears about a party, we're gonna be there. So naturally, Wines That Rock was in the STL yesterday for the Saint Louis Zoo's "Jammin at the Zoo" event.
About 4000 wine and animal lovers prowled the zoo grounds and the WTR wine tasting table was six people deep all night, sampling the award-winning Wines That Rock varietals. Good time was had by all.

Wine Enthusiast talks about Wine and Music
Wine Enthusiast Magazine online just published a cool article on Music and Wine Collaborations. Wines That Rock is happy to be at the top of the list!
Here is an excerpt:
It’s an unwritten rule that a successful party requires alcohol and a great soundtrack. But who knew that so many musicians (specifically those in the rock n’roll category) have a hand in wine production? Here are ten wine and rock pairings that may surprise you:
1. Wines That Rock, the brain child of rock business managers RZO and Mendocino Wine Company, has three wines in release that were inspired by iconic classic rock recordings:
- Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon Cabernet Sauvignon
- The Rolling Stones’ Forty Licks Merlot
- and Woodstock Chardonnay
According to winemaker Mark Beaman, “With Wines That Rock our focus is to combine these two sensory based experiences into a meaningful sum that is greater than its parts. Think of it as a sort of audio aromatherapy.”
He article goes on to discuss severl other Music and Wine collaborations. Check out the full article here.
Thanks Wine Enthusiast Magazine!! Hail Hail Rock 'n Roll!

Check out this note from a customer in Texas:
"I just threw a party last week and a Spec's wine specialist recommended The Wines That Rock as a cool party wine, but also he told me that these wines would exceed my expectations in quality as well. I was mildly skeptical, but I took him at his word and man HE WAS RIGHT! The Forty Licks Merlot and Woodstock Chardonnay were a Mega Hit! Thank You Spec's and Wines That Rock."
- Ron Keever, Woodlands TX
Thanks to Specs in Texas for recomending the wines and to Ron for sharing his experience. DO TRY THIS AT HOME!
