Wine Spectator Once-In-A-Lifetime Celebrity Cover: The Dogs of Wine Country
The March issue of Wine Spectator is dedicated to… dogs! At a time when unconditional love and devotion is needed most, the magazine is giving readers a treat by spotlighting more than a dozen dogs that work and play alongside their winemaker owners and serve as ambassadors at top estates in Sonoma and Napa Valley. The issue’s purpose: to bring smiles and spread happiness. Because why not?
“This special issue, which is near and dear to my heart, has been three years in the making,” said Marvin R. Shanken, editor and publisher of Wine Spectator. “If you have a pet, you will especially enjoy this issue. If you don’t have a pet, we hope to inspire you to consider adopting one.”
