OKanagan Life December 2006 Article on Frank and the Red Rooster Winery.

After Frank was restored he was placed on display at the Red Rooster Winery. There was a party held to celebrate his return that many of the local dignitaries attended. Many of the neighbors placed luggage at the foot of their driveway to show their support of Frank.

The winery honored Frank by creating a "Cabernet Frank" wine. The wine label went on to win the Peoples Choice award at the fall wine festival. The wine itself sold out within 6 weeks of its release. The artist signed every bottle.
