WINES THAT ROCK!


The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd are the inspiration behind some new wines.


According to "Classic Rock" magazine, a company called Wines That Rock has launched spirits to, quote, "capture the quality and spirit of rock 'n roll mythology in its portfolio of great tasting wines, iconic album art for labels, earth friendly production and great consumer value."


The Mendocino, California company's first wines include the Rolling Stones-inspired Forty Licks Merlot. Meanwhile, Dark Side of The Cabernet "Chavingon" may just help Pink Floyd fans to get comfortably numb. Regarding the quirky varietals, Wines That Rock Co-Founder Ron Roy said, quote, "With these wines, we blasted the music in the cellar of the winery and developed a bottle of wine that captured the attitude of the music."

I WONDER IF IT STILL HAD A BTO 8 TRACK IN IT?


A Volkswagen van stolen 35 years ago in Washington State has been found in a shipping container at the Los Angeles/Long Beach seaport.


Customs agents found the 1965 van on Oct. 19 when they opened a shipping container bound for the Netherlands, the Spokesman-Review newspaper reported. They ran the vehicle identification number and discovered it was listed as stolen.


Law officers said the van, which is in great shape, was stolen from an upholstery shop in Spokane on July 12, 1974, while Spokane was hosting the 1974 World's Fair.


Authorities have not been able to find the original owner, whom they would not identify.


The operators of a vehicle restoration business in Arizona were the latest to have possession of the van, which they refurbished and planned to sell overseas, said Michael Maleta, an investigator with the California Highway Patrol. Maleta said the shop is also considered a victim in the case, and he declined to identify it.


The van now legally belongs to Allstate Insurance Co., which paid off the original owner's theft claim back in 1974. The Highway Patrol turned over the van to Allstate this week.
Maleta said the van had been restored to pristine condition.


"Now it's probably worth 27 grand," he said. "It's a beautiful van."


Megan Brunet, a spokeswoman for Allstate, said the company is looking through old records trying to find the original policy and theft claim.


"Trying to find paper files from that far back can be pretty challenging," she said.


The company will likely have the van appraised and go through the process of getting a replacement title before selling it at auction, she said.

WOMAN CALLS-IN A DUI ON HERSELF

Punt Return Blooper!

During a semi-pro football game in Las Vegas, a player looked like he was going to return a punt for a touchdown . . . but one of his own players tackled him. Now I see why he's not in the NFL!

HALLOWEEN DUI DRESSES AS A BREATHALYZER


Halloween was Saturday night, and no matter what you did, I hope you all had a great time. But mostly, I hope you didn't do anything as stupid as 18-year-old James Miller of Oxford, Ohio (--about 40 miles northwest of Cincinnati).

For Halloween, James dressed up as a BREATHALYZER.

He was heading home from a party at about 1:30 A.M., when he was pulled over for driving the wrong way down a one-way street, with the remains of a case of Bud Light in the car.

James blew a .158 on his breathalyzer test, which is nearly twice the legal limit, and was arrested for driving under the influence. Of course, being underage, James shouldn't have even been drinking, or driving around with beer at all. But you get the picture.
