West Coast rap legend Snoop Dogg is trying his hand at the same popular industry JAY-Z and Diddy have launched successful brands in. A growing member of the food industry, he’s partnered up with winemaker 19 Crimes to release his very own alcoholic beverage line.
Snoop Dogg Pours Up With 19 Crimes
This week, Snoop Dogg broke the massive news to the world about his new wine. His signature line will be affordable and a blend of red wines. He also spoke about his partnership in a press release.
The Napa-based brand 19 Crimes—part of Australia’s Treasury Wine Estates (TWE)— has announced a multi-year partnership with the multi-talented celebrity. The deal is set to kick off this summer with their debut release, Snoop Cali Red. Billed as the brand’s first California wine, the red blend features 65-percent Petite Syrah, 30- percent Zinfandel, and 5-percent Merlot, and is reportedly slated to sell for $12 per bottle.
