I’m a huge Bob Dylan fan, I love red wine, and I’m especially partial to Italian reds. So this certainly caught my eye:
Legendary American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan may not have had a chart-busting album for a while, but his red Italian signature wine is an international hit.
The wine, named Planet Waves after his 1974 album, is made by the Fattoria Le Terrazze winery here in Italy’s central-eastern Marche region and is a vintage blend of 75% Montepulciano and 25% Merlot.
Despite a steep price of some $65 a bottle, all 415 cases made the first year sold by November, more than half of them sent to the United States, and the only complaints were that there was not enough of it.
If you’ve been wondering what to get me for my birthday (September 29), wonder no more.
