/24-7PressRelease/ - WOODINVILLE, WA, June 18, 2008 -- PengWine celebrated the release of two new wines this weekend with a summer release party at their Woodinville storefront. Attended by more than 200 people, over the course of five hours, PengWine team poured seven boutique wines during the event on Saturday, June 14th. Featured were the new releases that just arrived from Chile, the PengWine Royal and Fairy.
The Fairy, a glittery-labeled, dry Ros made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec grapes was the highlight. The crisp wine was carefully chosen to be deliciously refreshing with strawberry and kiwi notes—and as the day warmed it proved to be true. The Royal, the second Premium blend from PengWine, features a bold blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with a complex character which touts sweet blossoms, allspice and a touch of leather for a delicate richness.
As with the other wines from PengWine, each of the new releases followed suit of being named for a penguin that makes its home on the shores of South America and Antarctica. Special features at the event were a spit bucket overflowing with mist created by dry ice, a large screen projection of the PengWine short film "A PengWine Affair" and a BBQ with sizzling chorizos to make the famous Chilean Choripan sandwich. Pink boas decorated every chair and barrel in the cellar to mark the release of the Fairy.
Invited guests and casual visitors alike remarked on the uniqueness of the blends that highlighted features from Chile. Wine lover Victoria Ostrovskaya, wrapped in a pink boa commented, "I was pleasantly surprised by the Ros because I'm not normally a big fan, but the Fairy was really nice. Not syrupy sweet like other Ros s. I really like the King, that's still my favorite--I just bought some for my Dad for Father's Day."
At the Release Party visitors to the cellar door placed orders for delivery. The new releases, along with the rest of the line of five other wines are available for sale through http://www.pengwine.com.
