Naming a Zinfandel
Alexander Valley Vineyards came up with a great name years ago that helped sell their wine, Sin Zin. It seems to me that no where in the wine industry is this type of marketing more prevalent than in the Zinfandel market. Armida Vineyards named one of theirs Pozin. And then of course most of us Zin drinkers have have many bottles of The Cardinal Zin. Today I encountered another from Michael David Vineyard called 7 Deadly Zins. And Alexander Valley Vineyards has another one named Redemption Zin. Are there any more of these great names out there that I have not found? Bill |

I am wondering why no one did a 2000 vintage Zinfandel called "Two ThouZin" |

Naming a Zinfandel
I can think of a French example of a very interesting name. De Sade
Champagne apparently was made by a relative of the de Sade that gave the name to sadism. Several years ago they sold their wine with a label with whips and such on it to take advantage of the infamous name. I believe this label was banned in the US. My mailbox is always full to avoid spam. To contact me, erase from my email address. Then add . I do not check this box every day, so post if you need a quick response. |

Naming a Zinfandel
Hello All, Again. I dont get around the computer to much anymore due to
work, and family, and building a house with... guess what... A wine cellar! It will be very modest (6'5" D X 5'1" W X 8' H) and I still am trying to decide between WhisperKool 3000 and Breezeaire WKE-3000. The unit will exhaust into the garage (insulated with some ducted a/c, so I am interested in opinions). I live in Northeast Texas, and it have finally broken the 100 degree mark (after a month of rain that held up the pouring of the slab.) But, back to the subject, Alison and I were on a 7 day cruise for our 2nd year anniversary, and found a few paintings that were wine inspired. So we bought one, titled Seven Deadly Zins. Here is a picture http://www.artcentergallery.com/gall...deadlyzins.jpg There are better pictures on www.michaelgodard.net and more wine/drinking related art. Well, on a trip back from Austin, Texas we stopped at Fat Dog's Liquors and found a bottle of Seven Deadly Zins. We bought a case of the 2001, but have not had any yet.. There is also a painting (and a wine) with the name Seven Heavenly Chards.

The Zin is very good but the Chardonnay is hardly worth the tasting effort. |

This Champagne now has a much less suggestive label that can easily be found on Google, but I did not find the original label. It shows a very young nude girl being whipped. Other information I found indicates that the de Sade family has owned property in Champage. However the de Sade Champagne is now made by a firm that does not include members of the de Sade family. However the firm obtained approval of the de Sade family for selling Champagne under that label. My mailbox is always full to avoid spam. To contact me, erase from my email address. Then add .

I think all the members of their organization that review wine labels are past movie censors. Several California wineries have had major go arounds with them over female bodies. I believe the also rejected one of the Mouton art labels and Mouton produced a US only label. And then there is Randall Grahm of Bonny Doon who is always testing the limits of what he can get them to accept on a label. ( I urge anyone not familiar with Grahm to visit the Bonny Doon web site and enjoy his craziness ) |
