FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SUNLAND, Calif. (Sept. 2, 2011) - Leading radio content provider CRN Digital Talk Radio and Pyrenees Vineyards and Cellars are joining together to ask listeners to design the label of CRN's first ever wine release.

"We are extremely thrilled at the listener response to our 'Name the Wine' contest for our first wine release so now we are asking listeners to get creative again and design our new label," said Michael Horn, CEO and founder of CRN.

Last month, listener Suzanne Wright of Sebastopol, Calif. won the "Name the Wine Contest," with the name "CRN's Smooth Talker Bordeaux."

The new wine will be a traditional Bordeaux blend which includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc exclusively created by the wine experts at Pyrenees Vineyards in Oregon's Umpqua Valley.

"It's always very exciting to debut a new wine, so we're looking forward to what CRN's listeners will come up with for this brand new label ," said Andrew Apodaca, general manager of Pyrenees Vineyards and Cellars (www.pyreneesvineyards.com) producer of the wine and contest co-sponsor.

The contest, set to begin on Sept. 1, will give the winner a case of the new wine, as well as a framed copy of the wine label and a guest spot on "What's Cookin' On Wine: Oregon Report" radio program. The contest closes on Sept. 12 with the winner to be announced on the Sept. 22 show.
