Splash of Lugosi?

As Count Dracula, Bela Lugosi was no stranger to guzzling the red stuff. The actor himself, however, was also something of a connoisseur when it came to the red stuff. No, the other red stuff. Although Count Dracula never drank 'wine', Bela Lugosi, the actor, had impeccable taste in wines. With the creation of the Bela Lugosi brand wines, the Lugosi family pays tribute to their patriarch, a man of distinction, while acknowledging the icon that will forever be - Dracula.

Continuing the family’s enthusiasm for wine inspired by Bela Lugosi, Lugosi Wines will seek varietals sourced from superior wine-growing regions. Winemakers will create exceptional wines from distinct appellations to assemble a portfolio of the Bela Lugosi brand wines that will celebrate the best varietals from around the world. With each new release added to Lugosi Wines’ offerings, the Bela Lugosi collection will exemplify the distinct qualities of Bela Lugosi, the man, in a unique compilation of outstanding wines.

Lugosi Wines is proud to announce the release of the first vintage of the signature series wines. The Domingo Hermanos Winery in Argentina produced this vintage exclusively for Lugosi Wines. The vineyards are located in Salta, Argentina, and at 7200 feet altitude, are one of the highest in the world. The label artwork is by Argentinean citizen, Bruno Fernandez. Only 1200 hand numbered bottles were produced.

Go here to order a bottle, or, like me, a casket of the stuff. 

While we're on the subject of all things Lugosi - head over to Carfax Abbey to read Matthew Coniam's wonderfully scrupulous post on Lugosi's Monogram movies... Great stuff - goes down well with a nice Malbec!
