380.0. "The Official Vino (wine) topic" by LIOVAX::MERRILL (NY's got the ways and means) Mon Nov 01 1993 18:34

    
    For those of you who like to drink red wine OR just want a bottle
    to show off, there's a new (to me anyway) Pinot Noir from Oregon.
    Friends brought it to a dinner party we had Saturday night. It's
    from Williamette Valley Appellation, cellered and bottled by
    Redhawk Vineyard, Salem, Oregon. And of course the name is:
    
    
    
    GRATEFUL RED...
    
    I bet you were all wondering how this fit in with the scheme of 
    things around here!!!

    P.S. If you can't find it near you the phone # for the vineyard listed
    on the bottle is (503)362-1596. Maybe they can tell you where to get
    it in your neighborhood.

Tom Robinson opened Redhawk on July 4, 1992. I toured his winery last year 
when I was stumbling around Oregon trying to find something to do while 
the Eugene shows weren't happening.

380.4Good! But what about the lame label?DEMING::SYMONDSFri Nov 05 1993 13:1011
    
    
    	Yeah, a friend of mine from Minnisota send me a bottle of
    	grateful red - I gotta say it wasn't too bad! 
    
    	The label could have been a little more imaginitive though...
    	I mean if you're gonna market a name like that, why not 
    	give a promo boost with some color?!?!?

    Yeah, I agree that the label's pretty lame. I guess they figure
    they wouldn't get taken seriously if they have a really freaky label.
    
    Good Pinot Noir nonetheless...
