Page Cellars Release Party
Location: Page Cellars, Woodinville
Page Cellars would like to invite you to the 2005 Lick My Lips - Syrah special release party with live music on February 9th at our winery in Woodinville, where you could enter a contest to have your lips immortalized on next year's label. We think our 2005 Lick My Lips - Syrah is fabulously purple. Black pepper and smoke arrive before the dark fruit of this spicy Syrah, while the black currant, blackberry and plum rise above the subtle tones of nuts, leather and cedar. Delicate French Oak and fine grained tannins provide a lengthy finish.
All who attend will get the chance to be chosen to serve as the lip model for the label of our next great Lick My Lips - Syrah. In the past, Rothelle has been our model, but we thought it would be fun to spread the love in honor of Valentine's Day. During the contest, entrants will don a bit of lipstick, kiss and entry form, then throw it into our grand barrel. We'll draw 25 entry cards, and from those we hope to choose our next great lip model. Women are encouraged to bring their own lipstick. (Men, too!)
