The Capital Grille Invites You to Design a Custom Label for an Exclusive,
World-Class Wine
ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- If "wine is bottled poetry," as the
lauded writer Robert Louis Stevenson once said, shouldn't the label on the
bottle be of equal artistry?
Today through November 30, 2009, the search is on for a unique, original label
for a special wine, exclusively produced for The Capital Grille. Wine lovers,
label enthusiasts and anyone with an inner artist are invited to create an
original label to appear on this soon-to-be-debuted wine. Each bottle of this
highly-allocated wine will be hand-numbered and only 7,000 bottles will be
produced.
The winning label will be featured on every bottle, available exclusively at
The Capital Grille from March 15 to April 25, 2010. Additionally, the winner
will receive a case of this special wine and an all-expense paid trip to Napa
Valley, for an insider's tour of some of the world's top wineries.
The inspiration for this competition comes from a small corner of Napa Valley
with high elevation, rugged terrain and salty breezes from the San Pedro Bay.
This inspired wine, a wonderfully intense Cabernet Sauvignon with opulent
flavors of ripe cherries, black cassis, cedar and vanilla, is deserving of an
equally inspired label.
This spectacular wine will complement The Capital Grille's award-winning wine
program, which is routinely recognized by Wine Spectator. Featuring over
3,000 bottles of more than 325 Old and New World selections housed in
floor-to-ceiling, temperature-controlled wine kiosks, The Capital Grille also
offers a Captain's List of 125 collector wines. Guests also have the
opportunity to lease a wine locker, personalized with an inscribed brass
nameplate.
