Graceland Cellars Continues To Rock The Wine World With All Shook Up Sauvignon Blanc
Latest Addition To The Award-Winning Elvis Wine Line Arrives Just In Time for Elvis in Prime-Time Television
HAYWARD, CA - With 6 hours of CBS prime time Elvis programming in May and a hit Broadway show, Elvis Presley lives on as an American Rock and Roll Icon. He is also fast becoming an Icon of the wine world, as Graceland Cellars continues to offer new releases and ramp up production for the award-winning line of Elvis wines. Graceland Cellars is now introducing All Shook Up 2004 Sauvignon Blanc, the latest in release from the California-based winery. Made from 100% California Sauvignon Blanc grapes, the wine is available at retail in 42 states for the suggested price of $12.99, and can also be purchased online at www.gracelandcellars.com.
"All Shook Up Sauvignon Blanc is a perfect wine to pair with summer dishes and appetizers," said Scott Cahill, CEO of Graceland Cellars' parent Signature Wines. "And what could be better than having Elvis at your next picnic?"
All Shook Up 2004 California Sauvignon Blanc is characterized by light aromas of peaches, lemons, and limes. Sweet flavors of stone fruit and honey, balanced with crisp citrus flavors complete the flavors in the mouth. In a forward, fruity style, "All Shook Up" Sauvignon Blanc offers a fresh, clean expression of this food-friendly white. For immediate enjoyment, pair this wine with seafood, salads, or even Elvis' favorites such as Country Ham Steak with Cabbage.
