Are You AC/DC?

by Bill Spohn » Fri Aug 12, 2011 11:41 am

If so, that rock group has just arranged to release some Australian wines made by Warburn Estate:

* "AC/DC Back In Black Shiraz" (2010 750mL Dry Red)
* "AC/DC You Shook Me All Night Long Moscato" (2011 750mL Sweet White)
* "AC/DC Highway To Hell Cabernet Sauvignon" (2008 750mML Dry Red)
* "AC/DC Hells Bells Sauvignon Blanc" (2010 750mL Dry White)

Looking forward to seeing tasting notes on these.

What next, Dire Straits 'Telegraph Road' as a competitor to Night Train?

Hendrix 'Foxy Lady' for those hybrid fans?

War 'Spill the Wine' for those who've drunk too much Night Train?

Neil Diamond's 'Red, Red Wine' (sound generic, but better than Cracklin' Rosie).

Don Ho's 'Tiny Bubbles' Hawaiian fizz


I'm sure others can offer more suggestions for Rock Wine names.....

I'd just like to see one wine label, just one friggin' label, that will dare quote Public Enemy's "Don't Believe The Hype".

Beaten to the punch: there is a "Foxy Lady" made with labruscas from Hunt Country in the Finger Lakes (I have not tried it).
How about "F**k Off Nazi Drunks" for Dead Kennedy's fans?

Or how about one in recognition of Jimmy Buffett's tender love song: "Let's Get Drunk and Screw."

How about the Mekon's (Macons, get it?) "Garage d'or"?

I am Thunderstruck...

I am betting that a more appropriate name for any of these wines will be For Those about to Plonk We Salute You.

FIRE!

:D When you say it, it's so obvious! Time to shoot the marketing person thinking up the other names.
