I wish this commercial had played during the super bowl!


As mentioned in the previous blog post, Dave and I were in Hong Kong visiting our daughter and watched the Super Bowl at the Scottish Pub in the Excelsior Hotel. The live feed started at 7:30am on Monday, February 7. It was fun with an interesting collection of characters. Some were business men in coats and ties who planned to arrive late for work, others were young Chinese men who probably had studied in the states and then there were the tourists like us. One of the disappointments was that none of the commercials aired. Instead we saw the same five ads sponsored by Asian Sports Network. We all grew tired of watching Joe Montana try to hawk Sketcher Shape-Ups as a great workout shoe.

I would have loved to have seen this commercial air:

Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance created this to promote the upcoming Zin Fest. It's great. The "wife" at the end of the video is Katie with Uncorked Wine Tours. She stopped by today with a great group of tasters from Bakersfield. We get a lot of visitors from Bakersfield.

Plan to visit Paso for the first festival of the year on March 18-20. We will be offering three new releases including our first 100% Zinfandel. It's delicious. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we will be pouring on the pool deck paired up with everyone's favorite - Zin Balls (thanks again to Audrilee for the recipe) along with other tasty bites.
