About Furthermore Wines
Furthermore is primarily known for their Pinot Noir. Interested in how the coastal climates of California influence Pinot Noir, they’ve produced cases from vineyards in Santa Barbara all the way up to Mendocino. In 2015, they acquired Graton Ridge as an estate vineyard. With this acquisition, they’ve set up a tasting room and moved operations, as well as come into the possession of even more varieties.

TASTING NOTES:
“Fresh on the nose with fragrant aromas of cherry, red currant, and raspberry with a spice reminiscent of black tea and dried orange peel. The palate includes flavors of raspberry, blackberry, and chocolate-covered cherry. Great acidity and a subtle minerality reminiscent of wet river rock.”

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT(?) to help you make conversation over this wine:
If you’re ever running a Dungeons and Dragons campaign or something, feel free to call the little village before the adventurers head into the wilderness “Furthernoir.” Actually, just call it “Furthermore.” It’ll be clever. Especially if you’ve got a place already called “More.”

Just have a villager in More be like, “Oh, yeah, I got a brother living out on the edge of the forest in Furthermore.”

Your players will nod in silent appreciation of the wordsmithery. Fact.

DRINK IT FROM/WITH (conventional option):
Standard red wine glass, paired with your standard red fare.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
The 4th Edition D&D rulebook.
