Maynard James Keenan and His Precious Bottles of Wine

06.13.09

Well known front man Maynard James Keenan, of Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer fame, is set to be the star of an upcoming documentary entitled Blood Into Wine: The Arizona Stronghold. The doc, set to make a theatrical debut circa February/March 2010, outlines the story of Keenan and wine making partner Eric Glomski’s growth to fruitful success following the erection of their vineyard in the Wild West ghost town of Arizona’s Verde Valley. Since its inception in the mid-90s the rock icon’s Caduceus Cellars winery has been thriving with no plateau in site, with Keenan often organizing bottle signings and consistently treating the wine making process as an art. “It’s like writing a song, you just want to let the sounds happen in the room and go with it. Whatever Arizona on this particular spot on the globe wants to offer up for flavors, that’s what we’re going to do. We let the grape speak for itself.” What could be sweeter than rock star wine… nothing I tell you… nothing.
