“Wine, Wisdom And Rock.” And An Odd Way To Blow Some Cash
cheers! and jeers
These ‘rock and..” events seem to get more idiotic by the day. There has to be some sort of financial issue that causes the merging of music and events like cruises. A non stop party? A shared insurance liability?
This even though it sorta wins in the ‘wtf’ category. How about the ‘art of wine making’ and the drummer for Black Sabbath. Its funny cuz its true. Louis M. Martini Winery & Vineyards couples with Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp to create the middle aged soccer mom weekend. The woo girls and flabby old metal heads in Sperrys will be living it up as they learn all about wines of Napa Valley and listen to musicians of their time- all past prime. All who should be held in oak barrels until they improve.
Press babble:
Set for Aug. 16-18, the lineup features guitar wiz Joe Satriani; axeman Kane Roberts, who played with Alice Cooper in the late ’80s; Alice Cooper / Guns N’ Roses vet Teddy Andreadis; drummer Vinny Appice, whose credits include Dio and Black Sabbath; and bassist/songwriter/producer Phil Soussan who has played artists ranging from Vince Neil to John Waite to Jimmy Page to Ozzy Osbourne.
In addition to rocking out with the pros, this special Rock ’N’ Roll Fantasy Camp gives you hands-on experience in the fine art of winemaking as he guides you through the steps from grape to vintage.
During a conversation with Pollstar Martini described what guests attending “Wine, Wisdom and Rock” can expect from a camp that’s as much about riffs, licks and power chords as it about zinfandels, cabernets and chardonnays.
