Savanna Samson best known as an actress for her work in adult films is now moving into the world of wine. This is not a joke; it appears the actress (whose actual name is Natalie Oliveros-photo compliments of MSNBC.com) has a very developed palate and is quite the wine aficionado. Her husband a New York wine merchant got her interested in wine about two-years ago and since she has decided to use her money from “acting” to release her own vintage. With a little help from Italian wine-vintner Robert Cipresso (who is also the vintner to the Vatican) Oliveros developed a blended red wine (70% Cesanese, 20% Sangiovese and 10% Montepulciano grapes) named Sogno Uno with a 2004 vintage.
Perhaps the most influential wine critic in the world, Robert Parker gave Sogno Uno a 90 to 95 of 100-meaning Sogno Uno is an “outstanding wine of exceptional complexit
y and character”.
Sogno Uno, which retails for $38 a bottle, has a pink wrapper with a photograph of Mrs. Oliveros, hmm, I guess the stage name is appropriate Savanna Samson wearing a see through gown (see photo compliments of the wine blog). The Samson label will release a white wine (Sogno Due-“Dream Two”), champagne and a grappa next year.
Cheers and bottoms up from the Bushido!
