These days it seems that wine labels have gone to the dogs and almost every other animal. There are wallabies (Yellow Tail); loons (Sebastiani's Smoking Loon), ducks (Duck Pond); swans (Gallo's Black Swan); cats (Forks of Cheat's Bad Cat, Cat’s Pee on a Gooseberry Bush), trout (Quivera's Steelhead Red); penguins (Penfold's Little Penguin); frogs (Frog's Leap); bulls (Bull's Blood of Eger, Rancho Zabaco's Dancing Bull); hippos (Fat Bastard); rabbits (Rabbit Ridge); goats (Goat-Roti from South Africa); hummingbirds (Clos LaChance names its wines after hummingbird species); and dogs (Chateau La Paws, Cru Vin Dogs, Mutt Lynch, and Starvedog).
a wine columnist, I suggest trying Cru Vin Dogs, which honors brave dogs on its labels and which donates to dog causes. http://www.cruvindogs.com/
“The great pleasure of a dog is that you make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, he will make a fool of himself too.” Samuel Butler
