Martina’s Wine, B&D’s M&Ms, Bluebird Gets “Amplified” and More

Following the lead of country star Kix Brooks, Martina McBride has launched her own line of wines. McBride has teamed with Blackbird Vineyards Napa Valley to announce the debut of the 2006 Martina McBride “Signature Series” Napa Valley Proprietary Red Wine. “I’ve been able to taste incredible wines while traveling the world on tour,” McBride said. “I’m thrilled to collaborate with Blackbird on this inaugural Signature Series.” A pre-release of the wine is being offered exclusively to members of McBride’s fan community who are of legal drinking age before the wine is made available to the public later this year.

Already famous as country music’s biggest-ever duo, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have now become “Shell-ebrities.” The pair have been turned into green and blue M&Ms for a new ad campaign. You can see Brooks & Dunn’s candy-coated likenesses and turn yourself into an M&M by clicking here.
