Capital Grille Lets Guests Design Wine Label

The Capital Grille invites customers to design a custom label for an exclusive, world-class wine.

-- Chain Leader, 11/4/2009 8:52:00 AM

PRESS RELEASE: ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- If "wine is bottled poetry," as the lauded writer Robert Louis Stevenson once said, shouldn't the label on the bottle be of equal artistry?

Today through November 30, 2009, the search is on for a unique, original label for a special wine, exclusively produced for The Capital Grille. Wine lovers, label enthusiasts and anyone with an inner artist are invited to create an original label to appear on this soon-to-be-debuted wine. Each bottle of this highly-allocated wine will be hand-numbered and only 7,000 bottles will be produced.

HOT TOPIC

Check out the Marketing page for more restaurant chain marketing, advertising and brand-building.

The winning label will be featured on every bottle, available exclusively at The Capital Grille from March 15 to April 25, 2010. Additionally, the winner will receive a case of this special wine and an all-expense paid trip to Napa Valley, for an insider's tour of some of the world's top wineries.

The inspiration for this competition comes from a small corner of Napa Valley with high elevation, rugged terrain and salty breezes from the San Pedro Bay. This inspired wine, a wonderfully intense Cabernet Sauvignon with opulent flavors of ripe cherries, black cassis, cedar and vanilla, is deserving of an equally inspired label.

This spectacular wine will complement The Capital Grille's award-winning wine program, which is routinely recognized by Wine Spectator. Featuring over 3,000 bottles of more than 325 Old and New World selections housed in floor-to-ceiling, temperature-controlled wine kiosks, The Capital Grille also offers a Captain's List of 125 collector wines. Guests also have the opportunity to lease a wine locker, personalized with an inscribed brass nameplate.
