Woodinville, Wash, Saturday, November 1, 2008 (PressReleasePoint): This weekend the PengWine mascot, Mr. Penguino, was abducted from in front of the PengWine Tasting Room in Woodinville, Washington. Bob Stanbary, US Operations Manager was at the tasting room at the time. With tears in his eyes Bob commented, “Mr. Penguino has welcomed visitors to the tasting room since it opened several months ago. I’m sad that he’s gone, but hope that whoever kidnapped him is keeping him cool and well fed with his favorite shrimp.”

Mr. Penguino joined the team by welcoming guests into the Vinos Helping Ninos event in Ballard’s Shilshole Bay Yacht Club in October, 2006 when PengWine was first released in the United States. He has since invited passers-by to the Woodinville tasting room where visitors have been able to taste seven unique wines from Chile each named after a different penguin. He welcomed guests to the Fairy rosé release party in June and the Jazz Fall Release Party in October of this year with open wings.

Mr. Penguino was a beloved member of the team and is missed by all. If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Mr. Penguino, please contact us at info@pengwine.com. We will reward anyone with information leading to the return of Mr. Penguino to his family with wine, no questions asked.
