One of San Diego’s most modern retreats is taking it to the next level with the debut of its Red Carpet Wine Collection. The Andaz San Diego hotel will be featuring an array of celebrity created wines, allowing guests to sip on some the star approved labels. “As a favorite hotel and entertainment choice for celebrities, Andaz San Diego is excited to share the celebrity experience with our guests and give them an opportunity to drink with the stars,” said General Manager Rusty Middleton. “We’ve created a chic and affordable way for consumers to interact with some of their favorite musicians, actors and sports legends through these exciting wines.”

Everyone needs a little ego boost once in awhile, apparently even the rich and famous, and what better way than to put your name on a self-concocted bottle of vino? From South African whites by Ernie Els to Californian Sirahs by Train, the Red Carpet Wine Collection features a fairly comprehensive menu of wines and corresponding stars. In addition, the intimate setting of the Andaz Wine Bar is a cozy place to enjoy a beverage as well as the contemporary, yet comfortable atmosphere of the Andaz. Small bites of gourmet foods can also be enjoyed at the Wine Bar, complemented the newly minted celebrity wine list. Celebrities on the list accompanied by their wine of choice include:
