Ben and winemaker Rich Parducci collaborated on this blend of Petite Syrah, Pinotage, Zinfandel and Syrah. The two collaborators started with 25 different single-vineyard components, finally narrowing it down to this small production Mendocino appellation wine. Only 504 cases have been produced, and Pennsylvania is proud to have purchased some of those cases for its consumers.
Ben's love of golf has allowed him to travel the world and develop a great affection for wine which he loves to share with family and friends. Now he brings that same enthusiasm and love of great wine to two of our Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores. On August 30, he will help us cut the ribbon of our newest Premium Collection in Drexel Hill, and on August 31, he will visit our Fine Wine & Good Spirits located in the Oakmont section of Pittsburgh.
If you are an avid golfer, a lover of great wine or both, you don't want to miss this opportunity to spend some time with one of golf's greatest players and a champion of fine wine. Stop by the Fine Wine & Good Spirits nearest you to try this exquisite wine and meet golf's legendary player.
