Downton Abbey Wine Collection Launches

We're not sure the Dowager Countess would approve of the shameless marketing of her ancestral home, but these Downton Abbey wines would make for a great Downton-style dinner party--complete with one of Mrs Patmore's steak and kidney puddings.

As of today, the Downton Abbey Wine Collection features two enticing blends from the Bordeaux region of France: a "Blanc" white wine and a "Claret" red wine. Downton Abbey Blanc is a light and crisp white blend, while Downton Abbey Claret is medium-bodied red with bright fruit and a silky finish.

To purchase visit Wine.com and DowntonAbbeyWine.com as well as select retailers beginning November 1, 2013 for $14.99 per 750-ml bottle.
