DAVE MATTHEWS AND CONSTELLATION WINES INTRODUCE THE DREAMING TREE

Award-winning Sonoma County winemaker Steve Reeder and world-renowned musician Dave Matthews announce the introduction of The Dreaming Tree wines – a collection of high-quality wines developed in partnership with Constellation Wines U.S.  The Dreaming Tree wines portfolio, founded and harvested in California’s wine country, is aptly named after the Dave Matthews Band track, “The Dreaming Tree,” from the 1998 album, “Before These Crowded Streets.” The collection includes a 2010 Central Coast Chardonnay, 2009 North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon and 2009 North Coast Crush red blend, available nationwide.

The commitment to providing a high-value, environmentally conscious product is an important aspect of The Dreaming Tree brand. Bottles used for The Dreaming Tree wines are 50 percent lighter than the average wine bottle, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint as the wines are transported. The natural cork closure is sustainably grown, and the bottle’s label is made with 100% recycled kraft brown paper and sealed with an eco-friendly sealant.
