Watch out for Food Network and Donald Trump, two powerhouses, as they will be producing and launching their own wine labels in the near future.
Food Network has collaborated with Wente Vineyards in California and will be featuring their new wines this August for $12.99. Their label is called Entwine, featuring four varietals; a 2009 Vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot and Pinot Grigio. “We wanted to take the mystery out of wine for our viewers so that they could enjoy the marriage of food and wine as much as we do,” says Sergei Kuharsky, General Manager of New Enterprises, Food Network.
After months of speculation and rumors about the future of Kluge Estate Winery in Charlottesville, Trump finally bought the massive 800 acres of land for $6.2 million, which is a steal, as it had a $28 million mortgage before. It seems that he will also keep socialite Patricia Kluge in charge of the wine production.
