Wine News: Arizona Wine Documentary To Premiere In February

That’’s right…. the film is almost here. Rock Star/Winemaker Maynard James Keenan, whom you may know from his musical endeavors (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Pucifier) and his wine-making partner Eric Glomski want you to know that there’s some seriously good wine coming out of Arizona. So they teamed with documentary filmmakers Ryan Page and Christopher Pomerenke (Moog, The Heart is a Drum Machine to create Blood Into Wine which premieres at the W Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ on Feb. 19 at 7:00 pm.

Keenan owns Caduceus Cellars and Glomski owns Page Springs Cellars and together they own Arizona Stronghold. The two have ‘toured’ together across the U.S. to introduce their wines to the public, conducting tasting on-the-air at radio stations and meeting fans in person at retail locations including Whole Foods Markets. The film follows their trek across the country and reveals the difficulties they face in producing wine from a relatively unknown wine region with a pretty harsh geography.

Nationwide screenings will be announced soon with a DVD release coming Spring 2010; we will keep you posted. In the meantime, you can watch the trailer here.
