Do You Know Of Any Other Grape That Has A Band?

Well, I certainly never heard of The Cabernet's, or The Mellow Merlot's. Ladies and Gentlemen, the malbec grape doesn't stop gaining admiration from fans. People just love the grape and its juice. Here is Malbec, the Band:

Pablo Signori is the heart and soul of this L.A. based Band, which plays a mix of rock-hip-hop-pop music and it was formed in 2003.
And why the name?
Where did you guys come up with the name Malbec?
Truthfully we were having a difficult time coming up with a name.  I mean we tried hundreds of names with nothing we could agree on.  Pablo had just gotten back from Argentina at the time and suggested the name Malbec, the “national” wine of Argentina.  His cousin owns a Bodega down there.  We felt it not only sounded cool but also represented a part of some of the members heritage.  Pablo’s parents are from Argentina as well as part of Sam’s family.
Do you drink Malbec wine?
Definitely. Pablo more than the rest of us.  Coincidentally we found out the term “Malbec mouth” refers to the purple shade ones teeth turns when drinking wine.
Their music has been featured in movies and commercials, and they seem to have quite a following. You can download a couple of songs for free from their website.
