Rockin’ Wines

Patrick Krutz, winemaker and owner of the luxury brand Krutz Family Cellars, is a serious fan of music. He was inspired to create House Band Wines when some of his music industry friends complained that they couldn’t get good, consistent wines by the glass for their music venues and from a winery that truly connected with their audience. The wine is packaged to allow the wine to go where glass isn’t allowed and to further reduce production and shipping costs and waste. The official wine of rock ‘n roll combines the world of wine with music. Winemaker Mark Beaman of Wines That Rock, while blasting classic tracks from The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and The Police in his cellar, crafted custom wines for these legendary artists and their timeless albums – pairing one of a kind wines with rock ‘n roll royalty. The labels use the artwork from the original album jacket with the back set up as liner notes and all. As if that wasn’t cool enough, WTR contributes a portion of their proceeds from every bottle sold to the T.J. Martell foundation, one of the music industry’s largest charity foundations. Rock on.
