Just came back from Paso and this commercial cracks me up. It is great for the area, but they are producing some other great wines too.

I love it! Poor Cousin Zinnie -nobody claims him but we all love him. We hope he doesn’t show up at the wedding but he does and then we rave about how he turned the place upside down and ran away with the bride’s mother. Viva Zinfandel!

I’ll give it to them for repackaging and reselling the old spice commercial, good formula. But as for other wineries advertising, it’s very competitive and expensive. That’s what makes this work though, because they’re advertising for Paso Robles and not a winery, and they’re still finding their identity. You won’t see us do anything like that in Napa and it’s unfortunate because I think it’s effective. But only because it’s a destination and not a winery; that would be much more difficult.

Fantastic. Isn’t it great what you can do if you actually spend the money for good talent? I agree that this is the best wine ad in history. Head and shoulders above anything I’ve ever seen. Derivative? Sure. But who cares?

Brilliant marketing!!! As a zin guy from the Russian River Valley, I can appreciate the need to let folks know that ZIN is CALIFORNIA’S WINE!!!

I hope for more of this type of fun, non-serious marketing. We are making zin after all!!

Great Job Paso! If only Paso could make zins with less Alc and less oak… Time and patience.

Although I’m not a fan of the advertising industry, nor I like the nationalistic chest thumping (I know, you call it “patriotic” ), I think that the ad is quite witty and good!
But I must say we certainly don’t stomp on our wine in Croatia!

in tuscany the vines are irrigated with primitivo, the croatians stomp on their wine after it is made, and paso zins are indelible. the ad was great.
