Виннные Собаки (интересно, я почти уверен, что это - идиоматическое выражение, но не знаю его смысла) - это группа, собранная Майком Портным, Билли Шинаном и Ричи Коценом. Думаю, все уже всё поняли и добавлять ничего не надо. Очередной проект Портного, в данном случае - была идея создать банду а-ля Цыганский Оркестр.
Ну, в принципе, получилось. Классическое роковое американское гитарное рубилово, радио-френдли, отличного качества, периодически демонстрируют свои скиллзы - ну, то есть - хард-рок-трио в чистом виде. На втором диске появляются ещё и клавишные.

The Winery Dogs is an American rock supergroup formed in New York City, New York, United States, in 2012 by Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan and Richie Kotzen.

The idea of the band started out as a project featuring drummer Mike Portnoy and bassist Billy Sheehan, who were aiming to form a power trio rock band with a lead singer/guitarist as the frontman. Talk show host Eddie Trunk heard about it and suggested Richie Kotzen, who has already played with Billy Sheehan in the band Mr. Big, to the take the spot.

The three musicians got together at a studio in Los Angeles and at the end of the jam session, they had a few skeletons of songs that would appear on the debut album. After their first album success, they released a live concert DVD called "Unleashed in Japan 2013: The Winery Dogs."

Prior to the Winery Dogs, all three members have had successful careers with other bands. Richie Kotzen is known as former member of bands Poison and Mr. Big, as well as having a consistent solo career with many albums released. Billy Sheehan is known for playing with Steve Vai, David Lee Roth, Talas, and Mr. Big. Mike Portnoy is known for being the original drummer of bands Dream Theater and Adrenaline Mob.

When asked about the band's main influences, Mike Portnoy commented that they are working towards a classic rock sound, influenced by Led Zeppelin, Cream, Jimi Нendrix, Grand Funk Railroad, as well as newer artists such as Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Black Crowes and Lenny Kravitz.

The band's self-titled debut album was released in Japan on May 5, 2013 through Victor subsidiary WНD Entertainment, with a worldwide release following on July 23, 2013 through Loud & Proud Records. It was produced by Jay Ruston. It features 13 songs and they switched out the song "Time Machine" with the song "Criminal" for the Japan Edition.

In June 2015, the band entered a studio around Los Angeles to record their sophomore album.In a July interview, Portnoy said the album was about to begin mixing that month, and it should be released before they begin their October tour.

The Winery Dogs' second album, Нot Streak, was released on October 2, 2015.

The Winery Dogs also have a band clinic in the summer called Dog Camp. This camp allows musicians and fans to come meet, jam and learn from the Winery Dogs. Not only does it include individual clinics, but it also incorporates a band setting as well.
