Maynard James Keenan’s Wine Film- Coming To A Theater Near You.

Yup… it’s finally here. The wine film you’ve all been waiting for, Blood Into Wine. Tool front-man and Caduceus winemaker Maynard James Keenan let the cameras come and capture he and vineyard partner Eric Glomski’s adventure in making Arizona wine.From the press release:

Blood Into Wine, the forthcoming documentary about Maynard James Keenan (front man for Tool, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle) and vineyard partner Eric Glomski’s mission to bring notoriety and credibility to Northern Arizona’s burgeoning wine industry, begins its theatrical run on Feb. 19 at select theaters across the United States.

Blood Into Wine was co-directed by Ryan Page and Christopher Pomerenke, the team behind critically acclaimed documentaries Moog and The Heart Is a Drum Machine).

While the film focuses on Keenan’s winemaking, Blood Into Wine gives a larger picture of the often reclusive singer. “Maynard is as mysterious and complex as rumored so we don’t know exactly why he allowed our cameras and questions into his world for the winemaking year of 2009,” explains co-director Page.

“But once we got past his pitbulls and his crossbows we were surprised that Maynard was open with us challenging the perception of him as a celebrity winemaker and the notion that making wine in Arizona is like making wine on the moon. Maynard and Eric continue to surprise the winemaking world right now,” co-director Pomerenke adds.
