Wine Video of the Week: Gallo Pink Chablis

“It was a white wine, as white as the crystals in her crown…. it was called chablis. So great was her praise that is blushed pink… now this legendary wine is recreated for you by Ernest and Julio Gallo… the smart wine for young modern tastes”

Priceless!

Wine Video of the Week: Paso Wine Man

Only in Paso Robles. Irreverent and funny, this video hits the perfect balance. Many wine advertisements inadvertently regress into  kitsch, but this never falls into that trap.   It really offers up some of the excitement that is SLO, with tongue firmly placed in cheek. Nicely done!

Wine Video of the Week: Classic Riunite commercial.

Ah, it was the early 80′s and Riunite had the most awesome commercials on TV. I was but a wee little tot, but I imagined how awesome it must be to have Ruinite (on Ice, so Nice!) with a hamburger while skiing. Someday, dear readers, someday.

Wine Video of the Week: The Wine, Bro

How would you market wine to twenty-something guys? The same way you sell them everything! Sports, action, loud music, and sex! With the millenials such a huge market, this may turn from parody to real life in a heartbeat. Get ready to tear your eyes out with a corkscrew, bro. From the folks at CollegeHumor.

Wine Video of the Week: Drunk Orson Welles

“We will sell no time before it’s time” The Orson Welles commercial for Paul Masson Mountain Winery is a classic. Mr. Welles was sampling a bit of the product, apparently. These outtakes of the video are interesting, to say the least.

Wine Video of the Week: Borat Wine Tasting

Borat heads to Jackson, Mississippi to learn about wine. Nothing possibly could go wrong. Could it? Chug, chug, chug. Then suddenly, it gets dark really quick: Incest, slavery, and Zinfandel in a single wine tasting. Good time, good times.
