"   Let&amp;#039;s face it\u2014when it comes to booze, wine doesn&amp;#039;t exactly have the most rock&amp;#039;n&amp;#039;roll of pedigrees. It&amp;#039;s unlikely that Ozzy Osbourne snorted ants under the influence of shiraz, or that Motley Cr\u00FCe ever prepped for a party by knocking back zinfandel. But that doesn&amp;#039;t mean that Wines That Rock\u2014a new range of classic-album-inspired vino varieties\u2014don&amp;#039;t live up to their name. Partnering with former band managers RZO (The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and U2 were all once on their roster), winemakers at Mendocino Wine Company have set out to capture the essence of some of the 20th century&amp;#039;s most iconic LPs, starting with a first-pressing trio of Rolling Stones Forty Licks Merlot, Woodstock Chardonnay, and Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon Cabernet Sauvignon. Surprisingly, these are no mere novelty acts: I indulged in Forty Licks Merlot on Thanksgiving, and it went down like cherries and cinnamon; the Woodstock Chardonnay\u2014far from tasting like the bottled bongwater and mud one might expect\u2014had the mineral, fruity brightness of liquid sunshine. I haven&amp;#039;t uncorked the Dark Side of the Moon yet, but I&amp;#039;m thinking I&amp;#039;ll have to cue it up with a Wizard of Oz screening...mmm, comfortably numb. So get behind me, Marilyn Manson absinthe (What, you&amp;#039;ve never tried Mansinthe? If you hate your liver, visit mansinthe.com): With their $16.99 price tag and strict green production standards, Wines That Rock totally fit the bill to headline my next get-together. Oh, and they&amp;#039;ll be rolling out more hits in 2010: check them out at wines-that-rock.com.  \u2014April Long, Senior Beauty Editor Follow ELLE on Twitter. Become our Facebook fan!
