One Work Of Art Deserves Another Let the Competition Begin

If “wine is bottled poetry”, as the writer Robert Louis Stevenson said, shouldn’t the label on that bottle be of equal artistry? We believe so. Which is why we’re inviting wine lovers, label enthusiasts and anyone with an inner artist begging to be released to create an original label to appear on The Capital Grille’s soon-to-be-debuted bottle of poetry.

Wine as Muse
So, what is this special wine upon which the winning label will be bestowed? On a world-wide search for a new wine to offer our guests, our Master Sommelier George Miliotes came upon a very special bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon produced at the renowned Atalon Winery in Napa Valley. It was a full-bodied wine with opulent flavors of ripe cherries, black cassis, cedar and vanilla that could only be born from grapes grown at high elevation, in rugged terrain, and kissed by the salty breezes from the San Pablo Bay. Master Miliotes knew it would be the perfect wine to showcase in our restaurant. And so, a special allotment, produced in a very limited quantity, will be offered exclusively to guests of The Capital Grille from March 15 to April 25, 2010, and it is this masterful Cab for which you will be designing a label. This wine will have no name—the winning original label art and the artistic wine inside the bottle will be all the identification it requires. And with that, we hope we’ve inspired you. (Or, at the very least, made you thirsty for a glass of Cabernet.)

May the Best Label Win
The winning label will be featured on every bottle of this exclusive wine in every Capital Grille throughout the country from March 15 to April 25, 2010. In addition to your fellow diners beholding your artistic accomplishment, there will be a significant public relations effort behind this competition and your work could be seen by hundreds of thousands of people. The winner will also receive a full case of this special vintage along with an all-expenses paid excursion to Napa Valley where you will be treated to insider tours of some of the world's most respected wineries. All for simply unleashing your creativity. We look forward to seeing your design, and wish you the best of luck.

Entries accepted through November 30, 2009.

Competition is open to legal residents of the continental United States or District of Columbia (excluding California, where the promotion is void), who are 21 years of age or older by November 30, 2009.
