Custom Tote Bag For Custom Sparkling Wine Now Available 
YOUNTVILLE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Domaine Chandon, the leading sparkling wine producer in the Napa Valley, has
partnered with DKNY to celebrate DKNY`s twentieth anniversary by creating a
custom sparkling wine aptly called "Twenty Year Cuvée" by Chandon. This unique
wine will only be available throughout 2009. 

To showcase this celebratory cuvée in style, DKNY has designed a limited edition
tote that holds four mini (187ml) bottles of this Chandon-created signature
wine. This exclusive accessory is now available at the winery, at chandon.com
and at select New York City retailers, filled with four mini bottles, for
$50.00. Savvy consumers can now bring this ultimate portable luxury to the
beach, a picnic or wherever they would enjoy a miniature bottle of bubbly. 

This special sparkler is also available in regular 750ml size for $50/bottle on
chandon.com (or $12.50/bottle per 187ml size). This unique sparkling wine
features a DKNY-designed label that highlights the brand`s signature New York
skyline imagery. 

Modern, savvy, and full of attitude, this wine is made by Chandon as a tribute
to the iconic American designer. Like many of DKNY`s fashion creations, this
sparkling wine is richly textured and brightly colored with a seamless structure
and soft finish. To create this custom cuvée, Chandon winemakers incorporated
library wines spanning two decades, representing DKNY`s 20 years. This
sophisticated blend offers complex baked apple and ripe pear flavors with a
soft, lingering finish.
