However the best part is the fact that it features an integrated refrigerator that can hold a “pony” keg and keep it chilled down to 38 degrees.

Carlo Rossi Sound System And More
February 8, 2008
Carlo Rossi has been making wine for quite some time but now it seems they have started something new by taking recycling to a all new level. Showcased on Carlo Rossi’s website are some interesting new concepts such as a lamp, bookshelf, couch, chandelier, and even a surround sound system all constructed out of various sizes of Carlo Rossi wine jugs. By far the most interesting design is the 5.1 Sangria sound system using several 4-5liter wine jugs and holes drilled into the sides to allow music to resonate perfectly.
MuchoTE Tequila
February 7, 2008
The latest hand-made tequila to hit US, MuchoTE had its debut January 29th in Colorado and is making its way across the nation. Each blue Tequilana Weber Agave that goes into making MuchoTE Tequila is hand selected for its sugar content (not weight). After the agave is selected and harvested they steam the piñas in adobe ovens for 3 days. MuchoTE Tequila is then aged in small charred American bourbon oak casks for 7 months which gives the tequila a full flavor and golden color. It is going to take a while for MuchoTE to propagate throughout the United States so I recommend that you pre-order your bottle online. More about MuchoTE.
