Naming the wine is one of the most fun things about running a winery. As you can tell when you go to the grocery store, there is a lot of creativity when it comes to what to name a wine.
In our first release of wines, we have a beautiful red blend that pairs the traditional Spanish grape Tempranillo and the classic Bordeaux (France) blending grape, Merlot. We wanted a name that had fun with the pairing we have put together, recognizing both heritages. So after much deliberation we came up with the name Rojo-Franco, as a fun way to identify the pairing of these two classic varietals.
Well it's getting close to label printing time and frankly......we need your help. As we have continued to think about the name, we ran into the old "first name", "middle name" dilemma that almost every prospective parent encounters - you know - does “Jim Bob” sound better or does “Bob Jim” (ok, bad example, clearly every Texan would know that Jim Bob sounds better). You just want to make sure you pick the name order that sounds best and rolls off the tongue. This is where we need you, our friends of Pilot Knob!
We're stuck between Rojo-Franco and Franco-Rojo, we just can't decide which one sounds best. Since we are producing 5,040 of the little guys, we want to get it right. So we need your vote here on our blog (see our Poll above to VOTE!) or, go to our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/pilotknobvineyard) and comment/vote there.
What’s it going to be? Franco Rojo or Rojo Franco - We need your help!
Your vote really does count. We know we can count on you!!
