I read recently in the book about Parker about Red Zeppelin and its Emperor Bob label. I tasted it earlier this year at Hospice du Rhone and thought it was okay, nothing special. Anyone else tasted Red Zeppelin? Any thoughts about its quality now or in the early 1990s?

Red Zeppelin is a winery in that area. I had assumed that it was a Randall Grahm label, since it sounds like a name he'd have come up with, but it's not:

I went to the Bonny Doon site to check the spelling of "Grahm", and got a lot more than I'd bargained for. This is a fun website!

Uh, dude, it's _Led_ Zeppelin. Lead Zeppelin would _never_ have flown. :^/

Have you seen their label? Oh, the humanity! :)
So I'm guessing the jingle for their Monterey Chard will go something like:
You need coolin' Baby, I'm not foolin'
