WARRANT are currently in the studio recording their seventh studio album with legendary producer Keith Olsen (OZZY OSBOURNE, WHITESNAKE, SCORPIONS) at the helm. The CD - featuring singer Robert Mason (ex-LYNCH MOB) - will be released worldwide in May via Frontiers Records. More news as it develops.

In other news, this past week, Warrant Red, created by Kristain Story and Warrant guitarist Erik Turner, took the coveted Silver Medal in the most prestigious wine competition in the world, The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

When you take two forces of nature and bring them together good things are bound to happen. Bringing Napa Valley wine-maker Kristian Story together with Erik Turner is one of those magical collaborations with amazing results: Warrant Red, a delicious new limited blend of Wine from Artistwine.com.

Kristian Story is a Napa Valley, California winemaker, who employs ancient winemaking techniques to create his hand-crafted, unfiltered and unrefined wines, fermented with French yeasts. Focused on the limited production of red Bordeaux varietals and small lots of Chardonnay, Merlot and Petite Sirah, Kristian believes the minimalist approach preserves and expresses the true varietal character of Kristian Story Wines.

The goal of combining wine and rock is to reach people and music fans in a new and different way. The Warrant Red wine has been a project with both Kristian Story and Erik Turner together. The wine has brought on a different way to share their passion for music and wine with both a new and old audience.

When asked about the wine, Erik Turner said that the wine is delicious and by drinking it you will become smarter, richer and better looking! "Seriously though," he adds, "I am new to the wine world and when I tested and mixed the wines with Kristian Story I was blown away with what has now become Warrant Red."
