Fun Label of the Week
TwoTone Farm

       "Ripe, round and altogether delicious."

       -TwoTone Farm slogan

This week, "fun label" counts twice: once for a wine, once for an album.

The pair arrive together in this delicious doubleheader from TwoTone Farm: two bottles of amazing wine, plus a special music-to-sip-by CD titled Napa Valley Comes Unscrewed, all for one very low price.

TwoTone Merlot and Chardonnay are the work of the adventurous young vintners Danielle Cyrot and Tres Gotting. "Danielle and I wanted to make wines that we could share with friends, after work, whatever," says Goetting. "We spend most of our time making pretty serious wines, wines that you can put in your cellar for 10 or 20 years. At TwoTone Farm, we're making wines that you can enjoy right now. If you could buy wine at a farmer's market, this is what it would taste like."

One taste of the 2001 Merlot and you'll wonder why more people aren't crowing about this wine, which greets your tastebuds like an old friend. (Wine Spectator scored it an 87 and praised its ripe flavors and "plush texture.") The TwoTone Chardonnay is practically a farmer's market in itself, with flavors of honeydew, canteloupe, apple and zesty lemon.

The screw cap seal fits perfectly with the TwoTone philosophy of creating wines that should be enjoyed young, fruity and fresh. That same friendly philosophy is reflected in the whimsical, spilling-off-the-canvas label art by Santa Fe artist Patrick McFarlin.

As for the CD, it's full of good-time sounds from up-and-coming San Francisco bands. These are summertime tunes for the 21st century, with colorful jimmies of folk, ska and hillbilly funk sprinkled over a big yummy scoop of vanilla-bean pop. (Could the next Jerry Garcia be contained within?)

Two great wines plus sixty-six minutes of ear candy: add a few friends and you're ready for Friday afternoon. Try TwoTone today!

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
