His bottle of red blend wine will be called 'Snoop Cali Red.'
"I've been a fan of this wine and I'm excited to unveil my 'Snoop Cali Red' this summer and share the experience with all my fans. It's one of the most successful brands in the market, so I'm more than eager to bring this collaboration to the world!" Snoop Dogg said in a press release.
