Now Karling Abbeygate

After stunning crowds in Orange County with her popular weekly residency, “Karling’s Rockabilly Review,” at Big’s Bar & Grill, Rockabilly sensation Karling has inspired winemaker Michael Cobb of Sort This Out Cellars in Solvang, Calif. to create a tasty Cabernet Sauvignon, Karling’s Rockabilly Red.

The wine will debut at 2011 Viva Las Vegas on April 24, where Karling & The Kats will also perform at 2 p.m. at the Bienville Room in the Orleans Hotel and Casino. The free wine tasting also features a live Burlesque performance by Miss Viva Las Vegas, 2010 Ruby Champagne, along with Big Sandy. Event sponsor Bettie Page Clothing will provide Karling’s wardrobe.

“Karling and her music capture everything we think this wine and winery should be about – uninhibited good times with a classic approach,” says Michael Cobb, proprietor of Sort This Out Cellars. “Rockabilly Red was created to celebrate the rock pioneers who blended rock, blues and blue grass, which gives our wine that same unique flavor. Karling’s Rockabilly Red is an enjoyable ‘lifestyle’ wine, which is perfect for sipping with friends, casual get-togethers, and especially for listening to Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Karling.”

The 2009 red wine is made from Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon at the Sort This Out Cellars winery. The wine is known for its smooth and dry qualities of strong red fruit flavors and the subtle flavors of chocolate and tobacco. Karling’s Rockabilly Red will retail for $25.

Karling’s latest CD, Bound For Nowhere even recently claimed the #1 spot on CDBaby.com. Her hard work in the past year has paid off, as her track “Miss Fortune” earned a 2010 Hollywood Music In Media Award in the Americana/Roots category.
