Watch Tragically Hip’s Kingston Concert with the Hip’s own Wine

Published on: 2016/08/10 - in Entertainment Featured

August 20th has been proclaimed “The Tragically Hip Day” here in Kingston, marking the band’s final Man Machine Poem tour performance at the K-Rock Centre.

With the CBC airing that concert on TV, radio and online, millions of fans will be watching the concert from home – the perfect venue to commemorate this historic event with a bottle (or two) of the Tragically Hips’ own wine.

GRAND RESERVE RED – FULLY COMPLETELY, was co-created by band members Gord Downie, Paul Langlois, Rob Baker, Gord Sinclair, and Johnny Fay in conjunction with Stoney Ridge Head Winemaker Jeff Hundertmark.Its bottle features an exact replication of the original artwork that appeared on the Fully Completely album cover. The wine is described as “Bright Red Fruit and Cassis on the nose, with hints of cedar and cinnamon. The palate is soft with a nicely integrated smokiness and pure grape tannins. The finish is long and velvety featuring juicy red fruit and menthol.”In Canada, the wine can be purchased online from StoneyRidge.com, at NB Liquor in New Brunswick, and in person at the Stoney Ridge Wine Boutique in Vineland, Ontario.

The band’s AHEAD BY A CENTURY – 2014 VQA CHARDONNAY was introduced to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Trouble At The Henhouse, with the Hip once again working with Stoney Ridge’s Jeff Hundertmark.

The 100% Chardonnay grapes for this wine were hand harvested from the famed Wiens Farm in Niagara On The Lake, Ontario.

It is described as having developed “a mixture of flavours including tropical pineapple, lemon, toasted coconut, marshmallows and a hint of butterscotch.

The Hip’s Chardonnay can be purchased for delivery within Canada online at the Stoney Ridge Gift Shop, or by visiting the Stoney Ridge wine boutique in Vineland, Ontario.

Learn more about these wines on the Hip’s website or at StoneyRidge.com.
