It seems to be a bit of a joke that Ozzy Osbourne would release a wine considering he's a recovering alcoholic, but the release actually makes sense.
Osbourne will be playing a festival later this August at Walker's Bluff Vineyard in Carterville, Illinois, and now Walker's has announced that it's making the Ozzy Osbourne Solar Red Wine. I assume it's called Solar Red since Osbourne is planning to play "Bark At The Moon" during a solar eclipse, which makes sense.
Here's the description of the wine.
A medium bodied dry red wine made from a blend of high quality Zinfandel and Syrah grapes. Solar Red contains fruity notes of fig, plum, cherry and cranberry jam combined with some earthy characteristics and a backbone of oak. It finishes with a slightly spicy black pepper taste. This wine pairs exceptionally well with pork, roasted game, lamb, BBQ chicken and tomato based pasta.
You can grab a bottle here for $50, or go for the $500 deluxe version that comes in a little casket lined with black satin pillows, and is signed by Ozzy.
