Grateful Dead Wine gets a great review
Billboard has put together a panel of expers to review wines, and WTR got some great reviews.
The Panel
- Michael Dorf, owner of City Winery & founder of the Knitting Factory
- Robert Haynes-Peterson, wine & spirits journalist (Beverage Media, Vegas Magazine, etc.)
- Matt Weiss, professional sommelier (formerly of BLT Prime)
- Bill Werde, Billboard's editorial director
Tasting Panel Had this to say about Grateful Dead Red Wine Blend: "As soon as you stick your nose in the glass, you definitely get a note that this is a serious wine." A panel favorite. Definitely not just for your Deadhead uncle.

Matisyahu made an appearance in a Rolling Stone-sponsored event at the Park Here pop-up at 201 Mulberry (aka OpenHouse Gallery).
A few hours before he kicked off the New York leg of his tour in Williamsburg, Matisyahu along side 2 band members who broke into some hypnotic dub rythems. Freestyling and beatboxing intermittently, Matisyahu mixed in some of his trademark lyrics from older songs. A great set, short and sweet! Yeah, Matisyahu has indeed shaved off his trademark beard, but he sounded great and the croud loved every second of his performance. Respect due to Matisyahu!
Join us again tonight as we will be sampling Wines That Rock and throwing down some dub tracks of our own! 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Tonight.

Music makes wine taste better
The study shows that people who drink wine while listening to music perceive the wine to have the same taste characteristics of the particular artist.
The research published in the British Journal of Psychology found that for the best earthy and full-bodied Merlot taste experience, drinkers should try listening to Tom Jones.
Or to add a little zing to a glass of Pinot Grigio pull out the latest Lady Gaga album.
We LOVE it!

Women Who Rock
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power on May 13, 2011 at a Gala event in Cleveland - and Wines That Rock was there. All 4 Wines That Rock wines were prominently poured and displayed at every bar at the event. We were also featured in the Silent Auction with a rare 'Collectors Set" of our 3L Bottles. A first class event! So excited that Wines That Rock could be part of this amazing event. Thanks Rock Hall!
Check the Video!
The exhibition will spotlight more than 60 artists and fill two entire floors of the museum. The exhibit will feature artifacts, video and listening stations, as well as a recording booth where visitors can film a short story or moment of inspiration related to women in rock. The exhibit will move through the rock and roll eras, weaving a powerful and engaging narrative that demonstrates how women have been the engines of creation and change in popular music, from the early years of the 20th Century to the present.
