are they the ones who made relentless?

[caneshockeychick]

^No they are not... Shafer Vineyards is the producer of Relentless.

[RangersCanesFan]

My wife loves Duplin wines.

I personally think they're way too sweet, although we'll probably try this one.

Actually, we're not the first--the Sabres actually have Bully Hill Winery as a sponsor, although the Sabres do have another official whine, "Injuries".

[ButtersSaysNo]

now all we need to do is add an official cheese and we can be like the unc crowd, w(h)ine and cheese. ;)

Just a little (meant in good humor) zing at the heel caniacs out there.

[nccanes]

I'm always tickled at the "official" sponsors. We have an official exterminator too don't we?

And a little OT, but in the plethora of discussion about the N'ville corporate support, I always presumed it was more than just corporations buying tickets, but the partnerships that were forged in the form of advertising and mutual promotion.

Yeah, there is a lot more to it, like the Lexus Champion's Club and the St. Lawrence Homes Deck, etc. And yes, Termidor is our official exterminator. So we don't have vermin problems like at Angels Stadium.

On the Canes website, it lists the Crabtree Marriott Courtyard as the "Hotel Partner". Most, if not all, visiting teams stay at the Embassy Suites on Harrison in Cary. Not only not the partner hotel, but owned by Hilton, too. There is also a fairly extensive list of "Corporate Partners" with links to their websites.

I'm not sure I've ever tasted a Duplin wine that I wanted to buy. They're all too sweet to me, even the wines they say are dry.

[caneshockeychick]

I actually wanted to buy the Relentless wine during the cup run after finding out about it but the only store to carry it in Florida was about 1.5 hours away and I wasn't driving that far for it. Plus it was around $65 a bottle.

[cmw00]

My wife loves Duplin wines.

Yeah Duplin makes some pure sugar water it seems. Some of them are drinkable, some are more Boone's Farmish. I'll try some Hurricanes wine just to do it though.

Duplin had a segement on some Food Network show. I'd love to go tour their Winery and try some of their higher end wines.

[nccanes]

I still have my Carolina Hurricanes bottle of wine that was bottled after the 2001-2002 season (and sold/used at the wine tasting the following year i believe).

I got it at the 2004 STH draft party the afternoon of the first day of the draft. It's signed by CWard, Staal, and Ladd as the last 3 first round picks of the Canes. :D Pretty cool. Ward and Ladd's sigs don't have #s with them as neither had signed a contract at that point.

I always said I'd open it if we won the Cup, and even brought it the night of Game 7 -- but decided against it.

I don't collect much of anything (most of my lithos and posters are just rolled up in a rubber band collecting dust), but I love this particular item.

[caneshockeychick]

^I have a Carolina Hurricanes bottle signed by Aaron Ward :( that I won at a silent auction during the 2001-2002 season said I'd open it after the SC Run too if we won...its currently packed away, in a box, with all my other Canes stuff...but hopefully, soon, it will all become unpacked. Still searching for that perfect apartment.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

We have a bottle as well. It's signed by the team that went to the Finals in 2002. I think we won it at some charity hockey game at the RBC....cops vs firemen maybe? I forget.

I'll never open it because I hate red wine, lol.

[apolinar]

Duplin wines are known especially for muscadine wines and grapes and the grape seed extracts they sell to fight cancer. Many locals swear by taking the muscadine grape seeds, crushed up and put in capsules, to fight cancer. I take care of some of the grape farmers since my town is a few minutes away from the winery. Can't wait to get a case of canes wine to give away.

I'm guessing you're like me and find the Duplin winery wines just bad :evil:

[MIKELIUT]

I have red wine allergy (get terrible headaches) and will wait for the white.

[LostTexan]

I think thats called a hangover.

[Shattered]

I think thats called a hangover.
:p Some people react to the tannins in red wine without having to wait for the hangover.

I'm not crazy about Duplin's regular wines, but their blackberry wine is delish. I guess that's because it's supposed to be sweet.

Another sponsorship (this time a renewal).

Triangle -
RALEIGH – Linda Craft and Team of RE/MAX One Realty announced today that they have renewed their corporate sponsorship of the Carolina Hurricanes for the 2007-2008 season. As a real estate sponsor of the team, award-winning Triangle REALTOR® Linda Craft will make appearances at 20 home games throughout the season. Lucky fans will compete for prizes during the in-game promotion known as the RE/MAX Balloon Shuffle provided by Craft.

In addition, the Linda Craft and Team moonwalk and RE/MAX balloon will be at this fall’s Caniac Carnival. Fans may enter to win free hockey tickets and a hot air balloon ride for two at LindaCraft.com all year round.

“I consider myself one of the Hurricanes’ biggest fans,” said Linda Craft. “I enjoy supporting such a talented team and encourage all fans to come out this fall to cheer on your Carolina Hurricanes.”

[livinthedream]

Good, I can do the Balloon Shuffle! :lol:

[nccanes]

A few years ago I swore I would never again try to watch the damn puck shuffle. I think I made it two years w/o once doing it, lol.

Then last year it was the balloons and my son and I were like "hmmmm, lets watch this" (I think it debuted on Opening Night II?). Both he and I thought it was more challenging, :lol: and told the other half of our family (who wasn't at ONII). The next time they did it, the other two were like "huh?" :lol:

[Cullenator]

I love that winery, we make a day of it. Go and have lunch, great chef, and then do the wine tasting !!! It's free !!!!!! Not like others that you have to pay for. They have an awesome Raspberry Champagne too. It is a very sweet wine.

It's nice for the corporate sponsorship, but at every game it never failed if Linda Craft didn't wear dead animal (leather pants or leather jacket) or try and dress like an animal-- zebra print, leopard print or cow print (think black and white animals). Only thing missing was a Cruelle DeVille dalmatian ensemble.

When I was reading that bit about Linda Craft renewing, I couldn't help but wonder if she will leave the black and red leather pant suits at home this year.

[WillLikeWhoa091]

I had no idea that so many Cane's fans knew so much about different wines.

I just want a bottle for giggles.

[cmw00]

We should start a "wine lovers" thread!

[nccanes]

^ good idea

I enjoy wine, but don't know a ton about it (other than from a few wine tastings and what I learned from Sideways ;) and love learning stuff like that.

[cmw00]

Well if you learned anything from sideways its not to order merlot!

[nccanes]

:lol:

[VandyCane]

That's one of the reasons I hated Sideways-- I like a good Merlot! ;) A wine thread would be cool although I hate all the descriptive terms; I can never tell anything about tanins or all those things! :lol: I do know I like to drink it, that's all I need.

[Shattered]

My favorite wine description story: we were at a wine tasting at Il Palio, and were going through the line with the whites. A couple of really delicious Italian varietals, and a highly rated Sauvignon Blanc that all the wine snobs were raving about. Well, we just couldn't get into it but were ashamed to say anything because it was obviously the cool thing to like.

So the sommelier came around and asked us which ones we liked, we told him, and he asked excitedly, "Did you try the Sauvignon?" We said yes, kind of noncommittally, hoping he would drop it. But no. "So, what did you think?" Now, I had tasted a few more by then so was a little less inhibited, and I told him it had a lot of character, but I couldn't get past the smell. He nodded knowingly and said, "The cat p*ss smell? Yes, we call that 'gooseberry'."

[kermelbar]

I love that winery, we make a day of it. Go and have lunch, great chef, and then do the wine tasting !!! It's free !!!!!! Not like others that you have to pay for. They have an awesome Raspberry Champagne too. It is a very sweet wine.

I like champagne with Chambord -- I imagine the taste is somewhat similar.

He nodded knowingly and said, "The cat p*ss smell? Yes, we call that 'gooseberry'."

Hmm. There were gooseberry bushes (shrubs? trees?) at Mom and Dad's house and Mom would make Dad a gooseberry cobbler every year. I just remember them being twist-your-face-off tart, but no cat p*ss smell and I know there's not a chance in hell Dad would have eaten it if it did. Nothing makes him gag faster than the smell of cat pee.

Btw, speaking of wines, the husband of one of the attorneys I worked for (she's still there, just in a different department) opened a winery near Siler City a couple of years ago. http://www.horizoncellars.com/ Don't let the fact that Guy looks like an older Ryan Miller and is from Buffalo turn you off! =.)

[Fernando da Silva]

Any pic of the rotule?

[livinthedream]

You can't see the double secret logo yet, but you can buy the wine now:

[Caroniac]

I called there toll free# today and they said they cannot unveil the label until Sept 14, 2007 but it is a "red sweet wine". I bought 5. I will never open them with the limited series of the 10th anniversary, I am giving the others for x-mas gifts for family caniacs. You can't beat $9.99 bottle and a portion going to the 'Kids Foundation'. I ordered in middle of day and got an e-mail later telling me my order has been shipped via UPS already, I am thinking I will get these before the unveiling.

[hockeyfanfor55years]

For those of you who are beer afencionados, I would compare Duplin wines to drinking Iron City or Schmidts beer

[puck_it]

ALUMINUM BOTTLES :lol::spin:

[livinthedream]

55, I had to LMAO at your post. My husband has been going on an annual camping trip with a bunch of his fraternity brothers for over 25 years now (in fact, this year's trip is this weekend), and Schmitty's is their official beer! :lol:

I hear the brewery for Iron City is in some financial trouble.....:(

[LostTexan]

For those of you who are beer afencionados, I would compare Duplin wines to drinking Iron City or Schmidts beer
Haha welcome to the board.

What do you have against Iron City? I enjoyed a couple cases of it the other year when the Steelers won the super bowl. I must say that they have really cool bottle caps too.

I was going to order a bottle just for the hell of it but the shipping was $12 on one bottle which seems like a waste so I'll just pick it up at store, or the next time I go down to the beach. How far off of I-40 is the winery?

[andyt]

Never had an Iron City, but having gone to college in Philly, I'm quite familiar with Schmidt's and the unfortunate digestive after-effects. It rhymes with Schmidt's.

According to Mapquest, it's 2 miles off I-40.

So it's better than Grain Belt, is what you're trying to tell me? ;)

[RangersCanesFan]

There are signs on I-40 for the exit. I don't remember the exit number. It's a little more than half way to Wilmington.

I do know, that coming from Raleigh, you make a right off the exit, take that road down to the first light, make a right, and the winery will be on your left.

Unfortunately, the town it's in looks pretty depressed.

"For those of you who are beer afencionados, I would compare Duplin wines to drinking Iron City or Schmidts beer"

So, it's still better than most of the crap Budweiser, Miller, and Coors sell?

[CC]

All we need now is an official cheese and we can use it for hand wringing topics/posts on the board.

LOL Just kidding (Kind of)

Well, if you're looking for a cheese that will compliment and enhance the taste of Duplin Winery wines, might I suggest a loaf of Velveeta...

Looks like we are going to seeing a lot of that pic this year.

[Guyute]

Nice looking bottle. I'll pick me up one to sit on a shelf along with any other "X" stuff we pickup this season.

[livinthedream]

Cool! My shopping list for bunko night just got a little shorter.....:thumbsup:

[G-Vegas Caniac]

Jeez the shipping is more then the wine...:crazy: Wonder what stores this will be sold at? And with that said, I wonder if it will make it to Greenville?

[livinthedream]

The original announcement said that it would be available at grocery stores that carry Duplin wines, so you'll probably be able to find it in G-Ville with no problem. The article also said it would be available at the RBC Center, but I don't know if that means they'll be selling it at concessions? I'd assume they need a special permit to sell bottles at the Eye.

[LostTexan]

I think I saw somewhere that they were going to be selling it at the Carnival as well.

[nccanes]

Whoever made the suggestion to buy some for little hostess/xmas gifts for people - thanks! I realize the wine might not be stellar, but it's a nice little unique gift when you need to show up with something. :)

When someone gets confirmation about a local place to buy, please post. I won't be at the Carnival.

(PS - I still laugh at the "loaf of velveeta" comment :lol:)

Is it 9/14 already?

[KaniacFever]

Ditto. Once someone spots at the local grocery store, please post where. I'm not a wine drinker, but I would really like to have a bottle of it displaying proudly in my kitchen.

[RangersCanesFan]

I do know that the Harris Teeters we shop at in Charlotte, Cotswold and Morrocroft, carry Duplin Wines.

[Whaler]

That's one of the reasons I hated Sideways-- I like a good Merlot! ;) >>

Not really a good enough reason to hate the movie. I LOVED it, and I like a good Merlot, too.
Try the one from Firestone Vineyards.

disclaimer.......Pinot Noir IS better! [grin]

[cmw00]

OK I'll start the wine lovers thread.....

[livinthedream]

There's a video on Canes TV that gives some additional information about the winery and availability. Debut is Sunday at the Carnival, should be available at most all Harris Teeters where wine is sold, and they will also sell at the Kids 'n Community kiosk during games. Cheers!

[Canesluver]

Greetings from Carolina Beach! (yes-- arrived today for a week's stay)

Since we were passing right by it, we decided to stop at the Duplin Winery and take the tour and sit for some tastings. It's a great place to visit.

"Bill" greeted us for a tour. He saw our 'Canes license plate, and said, "I bet you're here to try "Ten," aren't you?" We said that we were, but we really wanted to tour the winery, too, and taste their other wines, too.

Tour was really very interesting, and it's harvest season, so we were right there when a truckload of freshly picked grapes arrived. We watched as they were dumped into the hopper for pressing.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, Duplin's wines are made with the muscadine grapes, and they also use catawba and scuppernong grapes, too. These, by nature, produce sweeter wines, but I was pleasantly surprised to find they weren't sugary sweet like a dessert wine. If you like Riesling, they really aren't much past that as far as sweetness goes. I myself do like pinots and chards, but I do enjoy Rieslings when it's hot outside.

In the tasting room, they have a regular menu of 10 different wines you can taste. They're all pretty light, but I did discover that I definitely preferred the muscadines and blends over the scuppernong wines. The scuppernong wines are definitely a bit too sweet for me. "Ten," since it's a new limited edition, isn't on their regular tasting menu-- you have to ask for it, but they're glad to give you a taste.

"Ten" has a medium blush color and silky smooth finish-- pretty light, but not too sweet. It's made from a blend of muscadines and something else (which I can't remember). It's really very drinkeable. I was pleasantly surprised.

Their wines are very young, though. They don't age them in barrels, or anything. You either need to buy a bottle as a conversation piece to keep, or drink it immediately. If you opened that bottle in a year, it'd probably be pretty crappy-- they're not meant to be aged. Two other kinds I liked were "Carlos," which is white and seemed very Riesling-ish-- and then "Bald Head Red," which included in its blend a grape variety from New York.

Bill said they sold 80 cases of "Ten" at the Caniac Carnival, which really exceeded their expectations. They hope it does well for them. They're a family-owned and operated business, so it felt good to give them some of our business.

It was a nice side-trip on our way down. I highly recommend it. We had lunch in their restaurant, The Bistro, while we were stopped, and the food was good. Really big gift shop/wine store, too, and "Ten" is prominently displayed right when you walk in the door.

Guess that's it--- walked out with a few bottles and hit the the road to the beach.

Oh.... and my husband only sipped a little of each wine during the tasting, 'cause he was pacing himself. But not me!! I finished every pour in my glass--- so..... I actually got a bit buzzed, and he was annoyed 'cause it was my turn to drive, but he had too!! :lol:

[Shell]

They would have sold a lot more at the carnival had it not been Sunday.. we tried to pick some up and couldn't because it wasn't noon yet.

[SoCalcaniac]

CL- thanks for the info! I'm giving two of the 3 bottles as gifts, and that tid-bit about not letting them age is good to know; I'll be keeping the last one as a keepsake, and with us not being drinkers, it's not an issue if it goes bad. I just want a pretty souvenier! :lol:

Have a blast at the beach too.....

[caneshockeychick]

The Harris Teeter I frequent has them on sale now for $9.99. Picked up a bottle to try tonight :D

[IceSun]

Cool, thanks for the update CHC

[caneshockeychick]

Had me a glass of the wine last night...I'm not sure if it was the overwhelming "grape" smell or what but, definitely not a fave at all. I doubt I'll finish the bottle. I'll probably buy another bottle (hey some proceeds go to benefit Kids N the Community) and it will look pretty sitting beside my signed Aaron Ward wine bottle that I picked up at a silent auction in 2002.

"Ten" has a medium blush color and silky smooth finish-- pretty light, but not too sweet. It's made from a blend of muscadines and something else (which I can't remember).

Catawba grapes per the bottle

[apolinar]

I had some. Very sweet, but went very well with my organic spaghetti with marinara sauce from Trader joe's. Brought out the oregano and spice.

2 more bottles to go.

[cmw00]

Why do all Muscadine and Scupernong wines have to be so sweet? I'd love to try one at a sugar level of say a Cabernet Sauvignon.

Hell at the moment anything would be better than this cheap Shiraz I'm drinkin on.

Not sure if this belongs in the wine thread or this thread....

[queenmerry]

I had some at the game tonight. It kinda reminded me of my teenage years mixing Boones with Kool-Aid.

...it was like grape Kool-Aid with a kick. ...a little too easy to drink. ;)

[Canesluver]

I just figured out what "Ten" tastes like --- Cranapple juice!! :lol: Just close your eyes as you're taking a sip, and you can picture the Ocean Spray label!
:laugh:

(And... sipping wine while house cleaning? I highly recommend it!!! :beatup:)

[puck_it]

snap! i like that juice!

[SouthernHockeyChick]

They must be selling it by the glass at the arena because I smelled it Friday night.

[LostTexan]

They must be selling it by the glass at the arena because I smelled it Friday night.
Haha. I think they sell it by the glass at the wine carts.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

That would make sense since there is a wine cart right behind my seats. I'm sure someone sitting nearby was drinking it. Canesluver bought us a bottle and I definitely recognized the smell.

I've never had cranapple juice but, it definitelly tasted like juice.

I just got a call from Duplin Wineries. I'd entered the contests on duplinten.com back before the season started. Apparently they had their first drawing today, and I won!

The prize is a bottle of Magnolia, a bottle of Hatteras Red, and an extra-large bottle of Ten signed by the entire team!

Woot! :toocool:

[caniac369]

For anyone in the Charlotte/Rock Hill area, do they have 'Ten' available at the HP's down there? We are heading to RH to spend Christmas with my parents and would be great to pick up some. I just have to pack it in a TON of bubble wrap to put in my suitcase to go back to Oregon.

[Caniac]

My wife found it in Food Lion of all places here in Charlotte. They'd likely have it at the Total Wine as well, there's one in the Park Road Shopping Center.

[caneshockeychick]

I know the price has been reduced on it too...noticed that at the HT when I got my 12 bottles w/the 15% disc :D

[caniac369]

Which brings me to my next question... is it any good? I'm thinking to get 2 bottles- one for Christmas dinner and one to take home to put on the shelf.

[SoCalcaniac]

I know the price has been reduced on it too...noticed that at the HT when I got my 12 bottles w/the 15% disc :D

CHC- At the Apex HT they've marked it up to $10.99; we were about to buy a case of it for hub's nephew up in Pittsburgh who absolutely loves the stuff, with that 15% discount but noticed they we $10.99 not $9.99 like they were when we bought them originally, so that 15% discount is negated with the higher price. Or maybe the Apex HT is trying to get over? :lol:

[caneshockeychick]

SoCal, The Harris Teeter on Edwards Mill/Duraleigh is selling it for $7.99. Of course, today was the last day for the 15% off on cases.

Caniac369, its not bad, but it is sweet and IMO, should not be eaten with or after a meal but, before or just to chill.

[puck_it]

teeter at western/buckjones is 10.99 as well, socal

[RangersCanesFan]

caniac369,

For Charlotte, I found some at the Harris Teeter in Cotswold. It took a while for it to get there, but it should be there now.

I tried some a few nights ago. It's not bad. It's not exactly good wine, either. There's just not a lot to it, but that doesn't mean it's bad to drink.

[Canesluver]

I'm with CHC-- it's not the best thing to actually drink with a meal. I have an empty bottle, I could dump some Cranapple juice in it and mail it to you--that's about what it tastes like. Seriously! :beatup:
