The Super Bowl hype of the best football team in the country has now been decided as the Packers took claim to the Lombardi trophy, but the hype around the creative commercials debuted last night is still among popular discussion. Paso Robles Wine Country asks wine enthusiasts to consider its new commercial: Zinfandel – Paso's Wine as you analyze the creative commercials brands use to lure audiences to their products. The first of a new series, Zinfandel – Paso's Wine, explores the origins of Zinfandel from Tuscany to Croatia and serves as a teaser for the Paso Robles Zinfandel Festival, March 18 - 20, 2011.
