"madonna wine" news and stories

I've always been told that the flashier a wine bottle's label is, the worse the wine is. With that, here's a bottle with the image from Kiss's 1976 album Destroyer. Inside is a 2004 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. There are only 1000 bottles and each retails for $100 via Celebrity Cellars (Sarah Gilbert posted about their Madonna wine a few months back). When was the last time you saw the words "loud, brash," and "unapologetic"  alongside "firm tannins," "notes of cassis," and "a subtle framework of oak" in a wine ad?

Celebrity Cellars, famous (?) for the iconic Rolling Stones lips wine, is shipping a new variety starting January 12, 2006: Madonna. The label is typically sexy material girl and features two images from "Confessions on a Dance Floor," Madonna as a "sexy disco diva."

The wine comes in Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio and, of course, UnWine for those recovering alcoholic Madonna fans. Although the blurbs describe the wines (the Barbera: "has abundant, velvety layers of ripe plums, blackberries and spice"), there's no telling how reputable the wine, or whether it's even meant to be drunk. The vineyards are loosely described as "cooler valleys of Northern California," which could basically be anywhere. So, what do you think - should this be drunk?   [via the feed blog]
