Gov. in new ad touting Calif. food and
wine
SAN
FRANCISCO (AP) –
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is heading a cast of California food and wine
celebrities in a new tourism ad campaign.
The
campaign focuses on a new Web site, www.landofwineandfood.com, and stems from a
partnership between the California Wine Institute and the California Travel and
Tourism Commission.
The
TV ad features a number of food and wine stars, including top chef Thomas
Keller of The French Laundry restaurant in the Napa Valley and vintner Andrew
Firestone, who also appeared on ABC’s “The Bachelor.”
The spot, which ends with a shot of Schwarzenegger and
his wife Maria Shriver sitting at a restaurant overlooking the coast, will
begin running in major markets next week.
