I was wasting time online (I know, let's all pretend to be shocked) reading TMZ last night, and I came across this article about the dogs rescued from Michael Vick. Some marketing genius decided to come up with a wine brand featuring the (happy, touchy-feely) painting of the dog and their life story on the back of the bottle. According to this site, only 10% of the money made off of the ($40 a bottle) red wines goes
to the Best Friends shelter in Utah, where the dogs are being taken care of, and funding for fighting dog-specific breed laws and to (hopefully) bring an end to dogfighting.As I was researching the wine, I came across an even more bizarre website, the Dog Lovers Wine Club. They've also got a cat and horse club, in case dogs aren't your thing.
Am I the only one the finds this odd?

Carrie, I'm Karin's neighbor in Martinez. Hope you can go to the Napa Valley for Holiday in Carneros, if you're in CA this weekend Nov 22-23. It's a bargain for $40. You may taste at many wineries for 2 days. Some very interesting and only open for this event. Lots of Fall color, too. Try Adastra and McKenzie Mueller. Some serve food , have food demos and lots of wine to enjoy.
