The first 6,000 bottles of Miraval rose wine from a French vineyard owned by Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt sold out on Friday within hours of going on general sale.
“Selling started at 9:00 am and everything was sold by 2:00 pm” during the online sale, said Vitabella, a public relations firm representing the vineyard.
The vineyard’s website also said that orders for the 2012 vintage were now closed. The couple teamed up with the French winemaking Perrin family to develop the “Miraval Cotes de Provence” label, named after their Chateau Miraval estate in the south of France.The 2012 vintage, produced from the couple’s sprawling estate near the town of Brignoles, was priced at a relatively reasonable 105 euros per case of six bottles for the Internet sale.

Indian animator GETS a note from Spielberg
Chicago: An animated film made by an Indian student as a tribute to his movie idol Steven Spielberg has earned him a personal note from the legendary director. A 19-year old student from Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology (Bengaluru), created an animated tribute using Spielberg’s most iconic films, including Jaws, Jurassic Park, ET, Schi-ndler’s List and his most recent movie, Lincoln, and uploaded it on Youtube.
Spielberg saw a blog by Krishna about himself on Chicago Sun Times and then watched the short clip before reverting with a extremely touching and personally hand-written note. “Dear Krishna, I read the story about you in the Chi Sun Times and then I watched your sweet and short respectful movie. Your image choices and clever transitions gave your tribute films a real narrative. I was impressed to say the least,” Spielberg wrote. — PTI
