If you are planning to air THE WINEMAKERS in 2009, we want to help make it a success.
For starters, we may be able to connect you with the local distributor that is carrying the winner's wine from the show. There may be opportunities for cross promotion or events. Secondly, we have some inventory of the winner's wine and fusebox home wine blending kits for promotional or fundraising use.
For more details, please contact Polly Kosko at kosko@scetv.org or Mary Ott at ott@scetv.org.
The Winner's Wine from the The Winemakers is a California produced, Rhone Valley inspired, red wine. Color: Mid to deep red with soft violet hues. Fresh, bright and crisp in color.
Aroma, Lovely soft red/blue fruit mélange with gobs of underlying spice and pepper.
Deep latent black fruits with hints of oaky vanilla, white pepper and violets.
Palate: Medium entry with tight, young fruit tannin supporting the red fruit palate with firm, almost lively crisp acidity to finish.
Bright fruit, fills the palate with a definite “food friendly” complexity, man this will be an absolute “hum dinger” with anything that involves Chorizo sausage.
The WineMakers Edition Fusebox is an at home wine blending kit. It contains instructions, equipment, and five Rhone varietal wine components that were used by the winner of The Winemakers to create the winning blend. In addition you have one bottle of The Winner's Wine. See if your blending skills are better than the winner by comparing your best blend to his. This fusebox makes for great parties, thoughtful gifts, and of course, great wines!
