Getting Tipsy With Tippi

I was wandering around the bakery next to the Tides Wharf Restaurant in Bodega Bay, just checking out the neat stuff they had on the shelves. We never get to see these things in Hawaii, y'know ... especially the locally produced wines.

One of the displays just yelled out my name and yanked me over to the bottles on the shelf. There on the labels was Tippi Hedren, star of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. They're pretty obsessed with that movie in Bodega, as you can imagine.

The horror-suspense movie was filmed there, and made the place famous. Ms Hedren herself was the subject of the 2012 movie, The Girl, about Hitchcock's obsession with her during the filming of her movie debut.

So there she was, four bottles of her looking sultry, but definitely Tippi and not tipsy.

The Tippi wine is bottled by Windsor Vineyards for The Shambala Preserve and The Roar Foundation, which was founded in 1983 by Ms. Hedren. The preserve, established in 1972 as a sanctuary for big cats, is located in Acton, California, near Antelope Valley in Los Angeles County.

Hiding in the bottle behind her lovely visage is a 2010 California Zinfandel.

And no, I didn't buy a bottle. We're not wine-drinkers.
